Simulation and patient safety: evaluative checklists for central venous catheter insertion

摘要: In the advent of concerns for patient safety, simulation training is emerging as a method to train healthcare providers perform invasive procedures such central venous catheter (CVC) insertion while minimising harmful complications patient. New technologies in medical have begun shift research attention performance component clinical competency. Accurate assessment provider competence major priority education necessitating development valid and reliable tools. past year alone, nine evaluative tools, both global rating scales procedural checklists, been published literature evaluate CVCs. A review advantages evaluation tools helps inform users with regard critical components necessary checklist. Ease use, ability be completed by non-expert, categorical breakdown actions involved CVC need comprehensive stepwise checklist are discussed. The an ideal may improve future competency-based setting. more thorough understanding status checklists assessing will lead better protocols ultimately improved safety.
