Compare template above to my table below. At a glance you can see the names of the most important articles I choose, the level of evidence of that study, what the design was, and what variables were important to know about in each article. As you study the table, the reader can clearly see more studies in support of BiPAP than IS along with other information that would be of interest to the provider to support standards of care.
