Training doctors to place arterial lines with ultrasound
This trial tests if intermittent practice helps doctors learn to insert a small tube into the wrist artery using ultrasound. It is for training doctors who have not yet done this procedure on their own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have good hand-eye coordination and learning ability.
- The patient you will practice on is at least 18, needs an arterial line, has a good pulse in the wrist, and does not take blood thinners or have other risk factors.
