She did do a literature search and did not find any evidence that shows it is beneficial or harmful. I was also unable to find any studies on it. This is where the problem lies and I have to agree with her. We only recommend evidence-based practices at the hospital. That is why I was wondering from the physicians on the list serve, if they are recommending it or not and if they are, is this evidence-based.
Thanks so much,
Sheila
