Chest. 2020 May 16;: Authors: Kelm DJ, Ridgeway JL, Ratelle JT, Sawatsky AP, Halvorsen AJ, Niven AS, Brady A, Hayes MM, McSparron JI, Ramar K, Beckman TJ Abstract BACKGROUND: Faculty supervision of invasive bedside procedures (IBPs) in the intensive care unit (ICU) may enhance procedural education and ensure patient safety.
