Asynchronous training for ultrasound-guided peripheral IV placement among critical care nurses.
Observational study in The journal of vascular access, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTeaching ultrasound (US) guidance for placement of peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheters requires significant time for synchronous didactic and hands-on training. The investigators assessed the feasibility of an asynchronous model for critical care nurses to learn the novel skill of US-guided PIV placement. Secondary outcomes included the percentage of successful attempts and number of sticks per attempt for anatomy versus US-guided approaches.
methodsThe investigators built a self-contained training cart for learners to practice and record their performance. Training occurred asynchronously. The learners recorded data from PIV attempts. Participants completed pre- and post-training surveys. Data from this prospective observational cohort was analyzed for descriptive and comparative statistics, using Kirkpatrick's Model for evaluation of this educational intervention.
resultsDuring a 6 month period, 21 nurses completed the asynchronous training, with eight recording their PIV placements. 81.0% of the training occurred outside of a Monday to Friday 9AM-5PM period. There were 64 attempts by anatomy approach and 84 with US-guidance. The anatomic approach was successful in 35.9% of attempts with a mean of 1.5 sticks (SD 1.0, Range 1-5). The US-guided approach had a statistically significant greater rate of success (77.4%;
conclusionsAsynchronous learning model with cart-based instruction and practice is a feasible means for nurses to learn US-guided PIV placement. Significant outcomes were seen across Kirkpatrick levels I-IV for educational outcome assessment.
