Bridging an Education Gap: Ultrasound-guided Peripheral IVs.

Purpose: To provide ultrasound (US) education to anesthesia providers to increase usage for peripheral intravascular (IV) cannulation on difficult IV access patients.

Design: This project reflects a qualitative descriptive quality improvement project with outcomes measured. Data in this project include the overall knowledge and competency scores from the provider's US survey before and after education and training were provided.
