Summary

This study looked at how healthcare practitioners move their hands and fingers when inserting a peripheral IV catheter. Researchers measured the forces applied to the skin and veins, as well as needle angles and finger pressure. The goal is to use this data to create more realistic simulators that better prepare students for their first real IV insertion. 31 healthy volunteers participated.
