An easy low-cost model for teaching and training of intravenous cannulation: A technical tip

Abstract

The skill stations are becoming the essential part of undergraduate medical training but availability and uniformity in their structure and functioning are still not universal across institutions. In the absence of cutting edge technology or paraphernalia in newer medical colleges, innovative and creative use of easily available materials to make models for teaching, training, and assessment purpose is highly desirable and attempts should be made by teachers and students both to hone their skills in this regard. A simple intravenous catheterization, which is one of the many essential core skill, is presented here as an example to generate the interest of fellow colleagues.
