Methods: Forty anesthesia resident companions who received standardized residency training in our department from July 2018 to July 2020 were randomly divided into an ultrasound group and a control group, with 20 participants in each group. The ultrasound group was taught by ultrasound-guided central venipuncture, while the control group was taught by traditional anatomy. After ten training punctures, all trainees were assessed twice. Results: Both groups could master the technique of central venipuncture. The success rate of first puncture and the overall success rate of puncture in the ultrasound group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p p < 0.05). Conclusion: Compared with the traditional anatomical localization teaching, the use of ultrasound-guided technology can improve the success rate of puncture, save puncture time, reduce related complications, and have a better training effect.展开更多
