It’s designed to ensure safe, proper (and in some cases, fair) treatment for all patients. But how well does “one-size-fits-all” actually fit? (We’ve all seen a salesman wearing an OR bunny suit…) So, let’s say you work in anesthesia. You know that patient X has such-and-such stats, and therefore should receive Y dose of Z medication. However, you’ve worked with patient X before, and you know that her physiology reacts abnormally to the combination of two other medications that she’s on, and therefore, under these circumstances, a smaller dose of medication Y will better fit her needs. But to the casual glance of another clinician, that will look like you’re undermedicating your patient. You might get in a lot of trouble… Protocol keeps clinicians from erring, in theory. Sure, *you* could handle the responsibility of properly individualized treatment, but before we’ve even opened that discussion, you may already be thinking of a coworker who maybe can’t handle the responsibility. So perhaps there are a few arguments for protocol. For example, I bought a burger from the local joint the other day, and this is what I found when I unwrapped it. Not sure if this was laziness or creativity, but we’ve all had to work with the medical equivalent of creative-burger-stacking-guy at some point.![](https://blog.transonic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-2.png?width=236&height=339&name=image-png-2.png) However, you’re capable of better decisions than inventive tomato placement. That’s why, at Transonic, we’ve figured out how to help you individualize treatment *within* protocol. We offer more than thirty different sizes and types of flowprobes and flowsensors. That way you can optimize, prioritize, and individualize care as you know best.
