Robots train doctors to place Life-Saving tubes more safely

NCT ID NCT04541446

Summary

This study tested whether using robotic training devices helps new surgical residents learn to place central venous catheters (CVCs) more safely. Over 770 residents at two medical centers used the devices during their standard training. Researchers then checked patient records to see if this new training method led to fewer complications and infections from the procedure.
