Advanced Life Support Training Course for Physicians Performing Central Venous Puncture as a Necessary Part of the Central Venous Catheterization Practice Seminar

Abstract

We developed an advanced life support training course for physicians performing central venous puncture. The training course comprises 7 scenarios which involve severe complications that can develop during central venous insertion. We will discuss these scenarios using the problem-based learning discussion technique.
We believe that while physicians who are involved in central venous insertion should undergo the training course, it is absolutely essential for them to undergo the central venous catheterization practice seminar.
The advanced life support training course for physicians performing central venous puncture may be essential to supplement the central venous catheterization practice seminar.
