Ventilator Associated Complications in COVID-19 Patients.

Here is an example of a clinical question and PICOT as well as a tip.

An example of a well-written PICO question is as follows:

Ventilator Associated Complications in COVID-19 Patients.

Does hand washing among healthcare workers reduce hospital-acquired infections in a six-month timeframe?

Ventilator Associated Complications in COVID-19 Patients.

Tip– In preparation to develop a proposed evidence-based clinical project, identify a clinical practice issue that is nurse-driven and managed by nursing. Ensuring that your topic is nurse-driven ensures your success. If you select an intervention that is based on another healthcare provider or patient actions, then it is very hard to implement your project. Utilize your PICOT components to develop your clinical question as listed below.

Example:

P (Problem or Patient or Population) -Hospital acquired infection

I (intervention/indicator) -Hand washing

C (comparison)- No hand washing; other solution; masks

O (outcome of interest)- Reduced infection
