Developing Emergency Medicine Clinical Practice Guidelines in Pakistan-a pressing priority

Tamkeen Pervez.


Abstract
Over the last couple of decades, clinical practice has rapidly shifted towards evidence-based medicine (EBM). One of the primary outcomes of EBM is clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). CPGs are ‘systematically developed statements to assist practitioner decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances.’ Although the first CPGs can be traced back to the late 1970s, they have only become an integral part of good medical practice in recent years. In emergency medicine (EM), ACEP has published guidelines since the 1990s, while RCEM and ACEM have recently joined these efforts.
This article will highlight the call for developing and implementing CPGs as the need of the hour to revamp national EM practices. They will help standardize and raise the quality of patient care and reduce the trust gap between the public and the EM healthcare system

Key words: Clinical practice guideline; Emergency protocols; Emergency Medicine
