We had a patient in septic shock who refused to have a central line placed. Without the central line, we were not able to give them vasopressors. The provider documented the conversation with the patient and family about refusing the central line and what it would mean but none of those are exclusions as an administrative contraindication to care. Does anyone if refusing any of the care would be a contraindication or is it just IV, antibiotics or blood draws?
