There are an estimated 5 million central venous catheters placed in the United States annually. 1 Unfortunately, serious and life-threatening com-plications from these procedures have occurred in up to 5 % to 26%, 2,3 and complications are inversely related to the level of the practitioner’s clinical experience. 4,5 Reducing this risk to patients will require educational interventions to improve prac-titioner skills, and assessments that identify those with skills in need of improvement or remediation. Simulation may play a role in addressing these needs.
