Project Outline:
The cannulation of a difficult venous access represents a common challenge in clinical practice. This research study investigates the potential use of a portable point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) device prior to cannulation of a difficult venous access. POCUS devices are currently used in some haemodialysis clinics in Western Australia, but not everywhere. The uptake of this technology in a broader variety of clinical settings should be supported, nurses need to be trained and educated on how to safely use this new technology, which may lead to improved patient outcomes.
Project Area: Nursing Safety and Quality; Workforce; Improving outcomes for adults with chronic kidney disease
Supervisor(s): Dr Ulrich Steinwandel
Project level: PhD
Funding: Applicant should apply for ECUHDR or RTP Scholarship
Start date: From 2023
