ABSTRACT
Research is fundamental to the advancement of medicine and critical to identifying the most optimal therapies unique
to particular societies. This is easily observed through the dynamics associated with pharmacology, surgical technique
and the medical equipment used today versus short years ago. Advancements in knowledge synthesis and reporting
guidelines enhance the quality, scope and applicability of results; thus, improving health science and clinical practice
and advancing health policy. While advancements are critical to the progression of optimal health care, the high cost
associated with these endeavors cannot be ignored. Research fundamentally needs to be evaluated to identify the most
efficient methods of evaluation. The primary objective of this paper is to look at a specific research methodology when
applied to the area of clinical research, especially extracorporeal circulation and its prognosis for the future.
