Q: In patients with acute respiratory failure, does total facemask, compared to oronasal mask, helps in minimising complications and longer tolerance in NIV?

1.) Conduct a search for the highest levels of evidence that you can find to answer your question (refer to levels of evidence models/frameworks). The 3 highest pieces of research evidence found should be selected. Succinctly describe your search process and provide justification of the resources that you chose to search, and the evidence selected (discuss where your evidence sits within a levels of evidence model/framework). Attach the abstract/s or summary/summaries of the high level evidence to your final assignment
2.) Compare and contrast the findings from the high level evidence to current practice in your clinical setting. Your discussion should highlight the level of evidence and strength of the recommendations and clearly discuss any differences that exist between the evidence based recommendations and current practice in your clinical setting. If you are unable to find high level evidence and/or clear evidence based answers to your question then this should be discussed, including reasons why you think this evidence does not exist or is poorer quality evidence.
3.) Discuss the barriers to EBP that may exist in your specific clinical setting, and how these barriers may be overcome, and/or strategies that promote EBP within your practice setting
