“However the insertion of the catheter is not without risk”. Which is why informed consent must be obtained prior to vascular access. Anyone who has signed a consent for almost any invasive medical procedure has seen the words “up to and including death” listed in the risks, which can lead pts/families to second guessing the treatment. Catheters required for CRRT can typically be placed in the ER or at the bedside. I think the practitioner might not want to be seen as the “salesman” early on. Pts/families often wait for conditions to deteriorate before deciding. My 2cents fwiw.
