Objective

To describe the current educational status of percutaneously inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion/ maintenance training for neonatal–perinatal medicine (NPM) fellows in the United States.

Study design

A cross-sectional 34-question survey was electronically distributed to NPM fellowship training program directors (PDs) in the United States.

Results

The response rate was 81.8% (81/99 PD). Most PDs (68.5%) reported that their neonatal intensive care unit has a PICC team. Fellows were PICC team members in 72%. Only 52% of programs offer formal training in PICC placement to fellows; 61.5% of these utilize a standardized curriculum. Dedicated PICC team existence was negatively associated with formal training for PICC insertion and maintenance for fellows (42.0% with PICC team vs. 73.91% without, p = 0.01).

Conclusions

Wide variation exists in fellow’s exposure, education, and competency assessment in PICC-related activities nationally. Development of a standardized curriculum would be beneficial.

目前对新生儿-围产期医学研究员的经皮插入中心导管 (PICC) 放置和维护培训

客观的

描述美国新生儿围产医学 (NPM) 研究员经皮插入中心导管 (PICC) 插入/维护培训的当前教育状况。

学习规划

一项包含 34 个问题的横断面调查以电子方式分发给美国的 NPM 奖学金培训计划主管 (PD)。

结果

响应率为 81.8% (81/99 PD)。大多数 PD (68.5%) 报告说他们的新生儿重症监护室有一个 PICC 团队。72% 的研究员是 PICC 团队成员。只有 52% 的项目向研究员提供 PICC 安置的正式培训；其中 61.5% 使用标准化课程。专门的 PICC 团队的存在与研究员的 PICC 插入和维护的正式培训呈负相关（42.0% 有 PICC 团队，73.91% 没有，p  = 0.01）。

结论

在全国范围内，研究员在 PICC 相关活动中的接触、教育和能力评估存在很大差异。制定标准化课程将是有益的。
