Clinical Simulation
CVC Insertion – Assistance
About This Course
What you'll experience
CV catheters are essential in treating several conditions and prove useful in obtaining information like right ventricular preload, cardiovascular status and fluid balance in patients.
This Central Venous Catheter Insertion - Assistance VR simulation from MedVR Education is designed for nurses to provide practice and training in assisting physicians with the insertion procedure – right from preparing the patient and instruments, cleaning the insertion site, monitoring of the patient during the procedure to performing post-insertion activities.

Learning Objectives
- Preparing the single transducer hemodynamic pressure monitor system for CVC insertion
- Demonstrating proper positioning of the patient in Trendelenburg position
- Using standard techniques for cleansing CVC insertion site
- Assessing patient during and after insertion of CVC catheter
- Flushing lumens and connecting the catheter to the hemodynamic pressure monitoring system
- Labeling of all tubing and observing external centimeter marking of catheter

Core Skill
Preparing Pressure Monitoring System
Before the practitioner performs the insertion, preparations need to be made for the procedure. This module is designed to perform and practice pre-insertion activities like preparing the single transducer hemodynamic pressure monitoring system, performing hygiene routines and verifying the availability of all required items. Since this procedure involves a subclavian insertion, we will also practice positioning the patient in a Trendelenburg position. With adequate affordances and appropriate feedback, learners can understand the process and correct their mistakes, if any.
