Simulation-based Central Venous Catheter Insertion Training Increases Comfort Amongst Residents.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is a fundamental skill required for trainees to become proficient. Simulation-based training (SBT) has been shown to improve trainees' CVC insertion performance effectively. However, implementing a CVC curriculum requires substantial costs and resources. Currently, there is a lack of validated CVC curricula that institutions can adopt as frameworks. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of our institution's CVC simulation curriculum in improving residents' confidence and comfort with CVC insertion and management.

Materials and methods

First-year residents (n=118) participated in SBT between 2017 and 2023. Among them, 57 (48%) participants completed surveys before training and 6 months post-training to assess changes in
