Study Summary

This trial will test whether two devices used to train medical residents improve the residents' ability to place central venous catheters, and whether this results in fewer complications for patients.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for medical residents learning to insert central venous catheters (CVCs) and patients undergoing CVC procedures. Residents must be in their first year at Hershey Medical Center or Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and patients must be scheduled for a CVC insertion.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests two training devices: the Dynamic Haptic Robotic Trainer (DHRT) and an advanced version, DHRT+. It measures how well these tools help residents learn to perform CVC insertions compared to current training methods.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

There are no direct side effects from using the DHRT or DHRT+ as they are non-invasive training tools. However, there's always a risk of infection or complications associated with actual CVC insertion procedures.
