Abstract
PIVC (peripheral intravenous cannulation) is an essential skill for newly qualified foundation doctors. It has high failure rates, resulting in care delays, pain, and infection. We explored the perceived impact of ultrasound guided PIVC training on confidence when performing difficult access PIVC. We surveyed 88 foundation doctors to evaluate their perceptions on USS-PIVC. Each cohort of participants were given two sessions over a two-month period. Confidence was assessed using electronic questionnaires through 5-point Likert scales and free text responses. Confidence when performing PIVC with difficult access, regardless of USS, increased significantly following the course (p < 0.01). This was also true regarding confidence when performing USS-PIVC (p < 0.01.). Key themes identified included technical skills, confidence, and clinical utility.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Medicine is aimed at practising physicians in the UK and overseas and has relevance to all those managing or working within the healthcare sector.
Available in print and online, the journal seeks to encourage high standards of medical care by promoting good clinical practice through original research, review and comment. The journal also includes a dedicated continuing medical education (CME) section in each issue. This presents the latest advances in a chosen specialty, with self-assessment questions at the end of each topic enabling CPD accreditation to be acquired.
ISSN: 1470-2118 E-ISSN: 1473-4893 Frequency: 6 issues per year
