2 Not known resource based of searching Not known the techniques of searching Can search, but result wide ( non-specific) Can search, but result cannot answers our questions

3

4 Answer patient s questions Answer ourselves/our colleagues Gather information for a topic reviews or presentations To produce extensive searching before conducting another research or systematic review

5 Patient Profile A man 40 year old Chief Complaint Lt. Facial palsy 1 day PTA Patient Profile 1 Day PTA, Lt. Facial palsy came with rash at Lt. ear. Previously no any illness and other infections before.

6 Physical Examination Ears Rt: Multi stages vesicles at EAC, erythematous skin, dry scales, cannot see TM Lt: Normal Rt Facial palsy, LMN, House- Brackmann grade VI (Total paralysis) Other cranial nerve exams and neuro exams are grossly intact, other ENT exams normal

7 Your Diagnosis? You want to know whether you should prescribe medications to this patient?

8 Your Diagnosis: Herpes Zoster Oticus (Ramsay Hunt Syndrome) You want to know whether you should prescribe acyclovir, an antiviral agent, to this patient

9 Identify problem Define a structured question (PICO) Find the best evidence How valid is the evidence? What are the results? How should I apply the results to patient care?

10 Background questions What is this disease? What are possible therapeutic options? Foreground questions Is surgery better than medication? What is the most accurate diagnostic investigation? Background Foreground Experience with condition

11 Vary to types of the studies Diagnosis Prognosis Therapeutic Prevention Harm

12 Forming Clinical Question (PICO) Patient Intervention Comparison Outcome (Time limit) Objectives of searching Answer bedside question (PICO(T)) (P-I-C-0) For collective reviews or meta-analysis

13 Describe the patient/problem that you came into contact with and are relevant to your practice

14 Drug therapies, surgical treatment, Intervention counseling or factors that are different Drug A vs. Drug B Mastectomy vs. Radical Mastectomy TV Program vs. None May also be diagnostic tests Diagnosis A vs. Diagnosis B

15 Standard therapy May also be no intervention / placebo / alternative treatment / exposure / another diagnostic test

16 Outcome which is relevant to your patient/problem May need to consider what exactly is important to you and your patient (Patient-oriented outcomes)

17 Patient Profile A man 40 year old Chief Complaint Lt. Facial palsy 1 day PTA Patient Profile 1 Day PTA, Lt. Facial palsy came with rash at Lt. ear. Previously no any illness and other infections before.

18 Physical Examination Ears Rt: Multi stages vesicles at EAC, erythematous skin, dry scales, cannot see TM Lt: Normal Rt Facial palsy, LMN, House- Brackmann grade VI (Total paralysis) Other cranial nerve exams and neuro exams are grossly intact, other ENT exams normal

19 Your Diagnosis: Herpes Zoster Oticus (Ramsay Hunt Syndrome) You want to know whether you should prescribe acyclovir, an antiviral agent, to this patient

20 P: Patient with a diagnosis of Herpes Zoster Oticus I: Acyclovir C: No treatment with acyclovir O: Facial palsy recovery rate
