The effect of reversed screen orientation versus standard orientation in bedside ultrasound on vascular access skill acquisition: a cadaver study
The findings indicate that reversed screen orientation may facilitate learning and enhance procedural outcomes in USGVA. This orientation aligns better with the spatial perception of needle movement, potentially improving hand-eye coordination. The study supports the integration of reversed screen techniques in US training to improve skill acquisition and reduce complication rates in vascular access procedures. However, limitations include the study being conducted at a single center and using only one cadaver, which may affect the generalizability of results. Future research should explore long-term effects and further validate these findings in diverse clinical settings.
