AI in the emergency room:
"Adam Hart has been a nurse for 14 years. he was listening to the ambulance report on a patient who’d just arrived—an elderly woman with dangerously low blood pressure—when a sepsis flag flashed in the hospital’s electronic system.
(.) The flag prompted the charge nurse to instruct Hart to room the patient immediately, take her vitals and begin intravenous (IV) fluids. It was protocol; in an emergency room, that often means speed.
But when Hart examined the woman, he saw that she had a dialysis catheter below her collarbone. Her kidneys weren’t keeping up. A routine flood of IV fluids, he warned, could overwhelm her system and end up in her lungs. The charge nurse told him to do it anyway because of the sepsis alert generated by the hospital’s artificial-intelligence system. Hart refused."
