• Practice full central venous catheterization using ultrasound-guided or blind/landmark insertion approaches at the subclavian, supraclavicular, and internal jugular access sites.
• Practice placing the patient in the appropriate position per access site standards
• Gain experience in identifying and selecting appropriate access site based on patient anatomical variations
• Practice use of ultrasound for:

Developing psychomotor skills required for obtaining visualization during cannulation 

Detecting anatomical variations

Distinguishing vessels

Visualizing arterial pulse and venous compression

Identifying the anatomical location of the target vessel

Visualizing needle cannulation of the target vessel in transverse view

Visualize threading of guidewire in longitudinal axis view

Visualizing catheter placement

Reducing the rate of mechanical complications due to anatomical variances such as pneumothorax or arterial puncture.

Improving first cannulation success and decreasing needle passes

Practice identifying unsuccessful vessel access by fluid feedback representing arterial puncture
