Can residents detect errors in technique while observing central line insertions?

Pei K, Merola J, Davis KA, Longo WE. Am J Surg. 2017;213:1166-1170.e1

The use of video technology has been shown to facilitate error analysis. In this randomized study, general surgery residents who viewed an instructional video on proper central line insertion technique were better able to identify errors associated with improper technique compared to those who did not watch the instructional video.
