Abstract
Central venipuncture is one of the standard techniques taught to residents during their initial clinical training period. Although ultrasound-guided central venipuncture (US-CVC) has greater clinical efficacy than the conventional landmark technique, US-CVC is still not widely used.
Establishment of a training system for US-CVC is key to popularizing this technique. Standardization of the US-CVC technique and development of effective training methods are required for developing this system. It is particularly important to train the instructor and to provide tools for training.
Creating a training system for US-CVC is challenging, but tackling this issue now is important in order to ensure patient safety.
