Development of objective performance metrics for ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein cannulation on behalf of the College of Anaesthesiologists of Ireland and observation of scores amongst novice and experienced operators
Authors' conclusion
A set of valid, reliable objective performance metrics has been developed for ultrasound-guided IJV cannulation.
Study context
- Population
- Video recordings of ultrasound-guided internal jugular venous (IJV) cannulation by novice and experienced anaesthesiologists, four College of Anaesthesiologists of Ireland (CAI) training hospitals, Ireland
- Participants
- 11 vs 15
- Exposure
- Novice vs experienced anaesthesiologists, scored with the agreed metrics
- Novicen = 11reference
- Experiencedn = 15
- Outcome
- Agreed CAI objective performance metrics (steps, errors, critical errors) for ultrasound-guided IJV cannulation; difference in performance scores between novice and experienced, by skill level (below/above median total error score: LoErr, HiErr)
Methodological detailsmodified Delphi panel, blinded assessors, multicentre (four CAI training hospitals)
- Modified Delphi panel
- Blinded assessors
- Multicentre (four CAI training hospitals)
