Trainee educational curriculum to standardize central venous catheter repair.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Children may require durable central venous catheters (CVCs) for various reasons. CVC-related integrity complications are common and can often be repaired at the bedside to increase lifetime. Variability in repair techniques can lead to complications, including the need for repeat repair and Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI).

Methods

The impact of an educational curriculum to standardize tunneled CVC repairs for trainees on a pediatric surgery service was studied, focusing on comfort level with tunneled CVC repair and to determine the impact on complication rates. Rotating trainees studied a dedicated audiovisual educational curriculum comprised of a video, educational slides, and a practical component from November 2020 through January 202
