Central venous catheters are thin flexible tubes with jugular, subclavian or femoral placements. These tubes are threaded or guided into the superior vena ceva allowing rapid delivery of required medication. 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.
While the catheter insertion is performed by the medical practitioner, nurses assist in tasks like preparing equipment, cleaning insertion site, observing data and performing post insertion activities.
This lesson on Central Venous Catheter Insertion from MedVR Education is designed to help nurses practice their skills related to this procedure. Placed in virtually simulated environments, nurses can perform activities related to preparing single transducer hemodynamic pressure monitoring system, preparing the insertion site and tasks like flushing lumens and securing the catheter.
Core Skills Training
To ensure a successful and smooth procedure, preparation must be fool-proof. Every step needs to be performed meticulously. Patient preparation for an endotracheal intubation procedure involves steps like confirming the identity of the patient, inserting an oropharyngeal airway and premedicating the patient. This VR simulation, with adequate and appropriate affordances, helps learners perform the task efficiently. Prompt feedback assists in correcting any wrong step. Detailed instructions help understand the process and ensure completion of every step involved in the procedure.
The process of endotracheal intubation involves inserting the laryngoscope followed by the endotracheal tube. It is also important to ensure the correct placement of the tube in the trachea. As part of this VR simulation, learners perform the procedure in a virtual environment with a virtual patient. The affordances provided in the simulation assist the learners in completing the task effectively. Instant feedback helps identify errors and correct them instantly. Well laid out instructions provide proper understanding of the procedure and encourage successful completion.
