“Among the fast-paced and hectic demands of daily practice in the intensive care unit (ICU), the choice of insertion site for a central venous catheter may feel like a relatively minor medical decision. But given the sheer number of catheterizations, it is in fact an important determinant of overall quality of care. It is worth getting it right.”
