The intersection of technology and care in the ICU
Abstract
In this article the author describes the paradoxical nature of the relationship between technology and care in the ICU. Although technology enhances care by expanding the repertoire of competent nurses' responses to the patient, it simultaneously alienates nurse and patient, hence inhibiting care. This occurs when nurses and patients have different understandings of technology and when the nurse identifies with the values imposed by technology at the expense of acknowledging her own and the patient's vulnerability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
