Question

In a minimum of 100 words, can you explain the pros and cons of EBI (evidence based interventions)?

Answer 1

Evidence based interventions are divided into three parts, first is core evidence, second is way of synthesizing and reviewing the evidence and third is use and application of evidence in practice. Various subjects are discussed under this scenario with effective treatment with medicines like low back pain. It includes the clinical expertise of a physician or doctor with the requirements of patient along with their expectations. It also considers the type of treatment, its effect and available cost for treating the patients.

Pros or advantages of evidence based practice methods like:

1)The evidence can be collected with updation and maintenance of records.

2)clinical advice of a physician or doctorr.

3)consultation of requirements and needs of patients before providing medicines for treating diseases.

4)Various original research articles and systematic reviews are collected for treating the patients.

5) available cost of treating the patients, record , signs and symptoms of patients are analyzed with monitoring of the condition of patient who is taking medicine for treatment of disease.

6)randomized clinical trials are performed with control testing groups for checking the efficiency of drugs for treating various diseases in patients.

7)human ethical guidelines are there for treating the patients.

8)quality control standards with diagnosis of diseases in accompished with patient satisfaction.

9) treatment is availale for various diseases like atrial defibrillation, diabetes and ventricular fibrillation.

Cons of evidence based interventions

1) The results of clinical trials may not be effective in treating the patients.

2) results may be confusing and not in accordance with the results obtained in the earlier scientific literature.

3)lack of knowledge, time and skill to order the latest drugs available in the market for treating patients.

4)there is lack of awareness about new pharmaceutical chemistry research being conducted in laboratories for synthesizing new drugs for treating a variety of diseases.

5)misconception about the mechanism of action of drugs.

6)various side-effects of drugs which can aggrevate and worsen the diseases in patients.

7)guidelines given for treating patients can be misleading without following the human ethical standards.

8) In some situations not much research has been conducted for treating the patients with less observance on the efficiency of drugs for treating diseases.

9)statistical results are based on average results and not on individual diagnosis of diseases and symptoms present in a single patient.

10)cost and diagnosis of disease with medication can be very costly.

11)there can be conflict of interest during conduction of research.

12)lack of availability of funds for conducting research and lack of ample amounts of samples for conducting research.

13)effect of drugs for curing the disease is less as compared to experimental verification procedure.
