Nov 3, 2020 · We suggest a new scoring system for CVC insertion (Gaber score) that can be used for evaluation of both the technique as well as the operator. It can evaluate the performance of junior staff and follow their progress.

Mar 4, 2014 · This study presents the first validation of an Italian scale that is used for the evaluation of CVC exit sites in hemodialysis. This scale is derived from the “Twardoski Scale”.

Haemodialysis patients with central venous catheter (HD-CVC) are at increased risk of exit site infections (ESIs) and catheter-related bloodstream infections, causing an increase of hospitalisation, morbidity and mortality rates.

Video-recorded performances of CVC insertion by 34 first-year medical residents were reviewed by two independent, trained evaluators. Each evaluator used three assessment tools: a ten-item checklist, a 21-item checklist, and a nine-item global rating scale.

Introduction: Haemodialysis patients with central venous catheter (HD-CVC) are at increased risk of exit site infections (ESIs) and catheter-related bloodstream infections, causing an increase of hospitalisation, morbidity and mortality rates.

Feb 12, 2016 · This study aims to validate the use of a tracking motion device, the imperial college surgical assessment device (ICSAD), by comparing it with validated global rating scales (GRS) to measure CVC performance in a simulated torso.

Central venous catheterization is a complex procedural skill. This study evaluates existing published tools on this procedure and systematically summarizes key competencies for the assessment of this technical skill.

This study presents the first validation of an Italian scale that is used for the evaluation of CVC exit sites in hemodialysis. This scale is derived from the “Twardoski Scale”.

Nov 3, 2020 · We suggest a new scoring system for CVC insertion that can be used for evaluation of both the technique and the operator. It can evaluate the performance of junior staff and follow their progress. It can be applied in the medical and critical care practice as well as the quality management privilege …

Our results suggest that global rating scales, such as the OSATS or O-SCORE, are more dependable than checklists or critical error tools for assessment of competence in CVC insertion, an essential procedural skill for many clinical trainees to acquire.
