Lines may be placed by either the ED or ICU. It depends on the patient need and other available access.

I am currently looking into revamping our sepsis protocols and was wondering how other institutions handled line insertion on sepsis patients. Does your ED insert the central and arterial lines or are those lines inserted after admission to the ICU? Thank you!
