INTRODUCTION
Evidence Based Practice refers to all the medical processes and procedures that hold
effective scientific evidence, which undertaken by healthcare professionals towards dealing with
a medical issue (Portney, 2020)). In the contemporary industrial scenario, this type of practice
holds maximum value which requires professionals and organisations to include the same within
their clinical practice. Moreover, there are various problems upon which evidence-based practice
could be implemented within health and social care. One such area of focus is related to
Breathing.
Therefore, the report below is based on a detailed literature review over this element,
which would be using a range of sources to analyse latest evidence based practice in this area of
expertise. Alongside this, the report would also be implementing all the analytical knowledge to
a critically ill patient, which would be very much contributing towards their current state of
health.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Breathing is considered to be the most imperative function in a human body, which is
necessary to be regulated to ensure that all the other body functions and organs are effectively
supported towards keeping a person healthy. It is mandatory to be regulated to ensure that other
functions of the body, as well as mind are appropriately and effectively working towards
enhancing the health benefits for individuals (Townsend & Morgan, 2017). Moreover, there are a
number of treatments, clinical guidance and exercises which allows an individual towards
regulating their breathing and staying healthy. However, currently with advances in practice,
clinical patterns and technologies, it is very crucial to determine the latest evidence based
practices which are supportive towards dealing with critically ill patients in relation to their
breathing. Hence, the essay below is completely based on these practices towards breathing,
along with their critical analysis which would be allowing them to be further implemented to
support a critically ill patient in an effective manner.
