An Innovative Instructional Simulation Strategy for PIVC Insertion Training

Recorded On: 04/10/2024

Despite being one of the most common invasive medical devices, peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) fail at unacceptably high rates, with around 50% to 75% failing before treatment is complete. The development of nursing professionals’ expertise is essential in reducing failures and complications associated with PIVC use. Proper training is necessary to acquire professional expertise in strategies that ensure an accurate performance and minimize the risks inherent to the procedure. Even though PIVC insertions are a prevalent, technically complex, and invasive procedure, most health care practitioners receive little substantive PIVC education, training, or opportunities to practice skills to become competent. In addition, PIVC training can vary between professionals and curriculums. In some countries, technical professionals without higher education, such as licensed practical nurses (LPN), are part of the nursing team and are licensed to perform PIVC insertions. In this session, we will discuss an innovative instructional simulation strategy for PIVC insertion training used with LPNs to improve performance and reduce complications associated with the procedure.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, learners will be able to:
1. Describe clinicians’ PIVC insertion performance from the perspective of patient safety.
2. Present an innovative instructional simulation strategy for PIVC insertion training.
3. Discuss how innovative educational simulation strategies for training PIVC insertion among health care professionals can improve performance and reduce complications associated with the procedure.
