NCT00791583

Brief Summary

  1. 1.Baseline performance in maximal barrier precaution technique of Emergency Medicine (EM) residents, certified in CVC placement, is poor
  2. 2.Simulation-based training in maximal barrier precaution technique during central venous catheter (CVC) placement will improve baseline performance of EM residents
