First seen Mar 17, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a mental imagery session—picturing the steps in your mind—could help 5th-year medical students place a peripheral IV catheter on a training mannequin. 96 students took part. The goal was to see if this technique improves first-attempt success and reduces the need for painful practice on real patients.
