Remotely supervised ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous cannulation training: A prospective cohort study examining success rates and patient experience.

Introduction: Ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous cannulation (USGPIVC) benefits patients with difficult intravenous access (DIVA) through visualising otherwise non-visible and non-palpable veins. Supervised live-case training is an important component of learning this skill, but supervisor availability can present a barrier limiting or delaying staff completing their training.

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the first-attempt success rate of newly trained USGPIVC inserters using remote supervision and timely written feedback based on app-based screen recordings taken during insertion.
