At our hospital, St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor MI, central lines are placed in the ED and ICU. If they meet the criteria for septic shock and are in the ED--the central line is placed by the ED providers. If the patient meets criteria for septic Shock on the floor or during the Patient's ICU stay then lines are placed in the ICU. Most of our a-lines are placed in the ICU, not the ED.
