Rethinking "default lines" in the ICU 🧠🚑
A landmark NEJM trial shows that in patients with shock, deferring arterial catheterization and using automated cuff monitoring was noninferior for 28-day mortality — and reduced catheter-related complications.
A gentle reminder: not every sick patient needs a needle to be well cared for.
Precision isn't only invasive — sometimes it's thoughtful, measured, humane. 🌿💡
