    AbstractEvidence-based clinical practice is a goal of professional nursing. Linking research to the clinical realm appears logical and sounds simplistic, yet frequently our preconceived thoughts and ideas of ease of change do not equate with the reality of the situation. The research exists, the need is there, but "how shall the two meet?" In this article, the authors describe the successful implementation of a multidisciplinary evidence-based clinical practice guideline in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Winnipeg Children's Hospital. Maintaining artificial airways was a frequent topic of discussion in this PICU. The questions surrounding this practice were reviewed using an evidence-based practice framework in order to provide a clinical practice guideline that would assist in the delivery of care.
