Implementation of an Intraosseous Device Task Trainer to Improve Confidence and Skill Performance
Abstract
Lack of training, inexperience, and equipment failure can lead to delays in establishing vascular access in adult patients in an emergency (Witting, 2012). This can cause untimely interruptions to the delivery of emergent interventions. Studies comparing Intraosseous (IO) and central venous access show that IO access is more likely to be successful on the first attempt and takes less time (Leidel, et al. 2009; Fuchs and Lacovey, 1991). IO access has been shown to be easier to perform than peripheral venous access during medical emergencies. However, many providers lack confidence and training placing IOs (Leidel, et al. 2009). The purpose of the project was to improve efficiency in emergency vascular access scenarios utilizing an EBP training program for IO placement designed to improve SRNA (Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist) success and self confidence.
