Evaluating Surgical Resident Needle Insertion Skill Gains in Central Venous Catheterization Training.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Training for ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization (CVC) is typically conducted on static manikin simulators with real-time feedback from a skilled observer. Dynamic haptic robotic trainers (DHRTs) are an alternative method that simulates various patient anatomies and provides consistent feedback for each insertion. This study evaluates CVC needle insertion efficiency and skill gains of both methods.

Materials and methods

Fifty-two first-year surgical residents were trained by placing internal jugular (IJ) CVC needles in manikins (n = 26) or robots (n = 26). Manikin-trained participants received verbal feedback from an experienced observer, whereas robotically trained participants received quantitative feedback from the personalized DHRT learning interf
