Although our decision was not based on a precise protocol, the attitude of the ICU physician coordinator regarding the tracheostomy has been based on the literature.
28 Participants are excluded due to the following criteria: psychic or cognitive disorders that interfere with the established requisites of the protocol; non-collaborative attitude; educational or comprehensive limitations; and severe comorbidities with a 12-month likelihood of life-threatening complications.
There are two, equally valid but mutually exclusive options: remain skeptical of adopting a new technology and treatment strategy that requires a major revision in the current standard of care until further data from a multicentric RCT are available; or adopt the technology (and protocol) with an attitude of cautious optimism and await the results of a definitive multicenter RCT.
Studies have shown that factors influencing participation in CCTs include participant demographics, insurance coverage, awareness of CCTs, potential side-effects of the CCT, trial setting, concern with the research process, complexity and stringency of the research protocol, and physician attitudes towards the trial [ 20- 24].
The Army, we reserves and our U.S.N leaders believed, was a rather loose-jointed and run-down crowd, with a slack attitude toward protocol and vulgar disregard for practicality.
Finally, the most radical empiricist attitude toward protocol sentences within the Vienna Circle came from Schlick.

This article contains an extensive description of the design of the @RISK Study: an intervention to investigate the effects of a newly designed risk communication protocol on risk perception, attitude and intention to change lifestyle behaviour.
Using the tools from proximity graph theory and Lyapunov stability theory, the proposed distributed linear control protocol guarantees that the attitudes of all agents exponentially converge to synchronization, and simultaneously ensures connectivity preservation and collision avoidance of the whole group, if the initial proximity graph is connected.
In a way, this study provides the necessary testing cohort for these studies, even though under considerably tightened conditions with probable differences in surgery, in the pre-analytic steps, the immunostaining protocols, and the analytical attitude of the observers in the interpretation of immunostainings.
