as the use of this technology represents an innovation aimed to facilitate difficult venipuncture and to provide subsidies to the most appropriate clinical decision-making, it is urgent to qualify nurses for its use” Oliveira et al (2016).
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the training of nurses in the use of ultrasound in peripheral venipuncture.
METHOD: descriptive research of quantitative approach performed with nurses as part of an analytical cross-sectional study in two patient care centers: an intensive care unit and an adult emergency center.
RESULTS: the results showed contributions of training for professional skill and visibility of nurses, requiring, however, more time for complete assimilation of this technological innovation as a safer clinical practice.
CONCLUSION: as the use of this technology represents an innovation aimed to facilitate difficult venipuncture and to provide subsidies to the most appropriate clinical decision-making, it is urgent to qualify nurses for its use.
