Item Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Umbilical Venous Catheter Procedures in Neonates(Creighton University, 2026-05-15)The purpose of this research project was to develop, implement, and evaluate a virtual POCUS educational module and competency checklist to improve NNPs self-reported confidence and perceived competency in using POCUS for UVC placement. UVCs are commonly used in NICUs for critical vascular access; however, malpositioned catheters can lead to significant complications. While x-rays have traditionally been used to confirm UVC placement, growing evidence supports the use of POCUS as a safer and more accurate alternative that reduces radiation exposure. Despite these benefits, adoption of POCUS among NNPs remains limited, largely due to insufficient education and training. The research project targeted practicing NNPs in Nebraska. A convenience sample of NNPs aged 19 years or older participated. Fifteen NNPs completed the pre-survey and four completed the post-survey following the educational intervention. A virtual POCUS educational module and competency checklist tailored to UVC procedures was developed. Participants then completed this virtual POCUS educational module and received the competency checklist to support guided hands-on practice. Data was collected using pre- and post-education surveys administered via a secure online platform and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Pre-survey findings demonstrated high interest in POCUS use but low baseline utilization and perceived confidence, with education and training identified as primary barriers. Post-survey results indicated improved self-reported confidence, increased adequacy of training, reduced perceived barriers, and sustained belief that POCUS can improve quality of neonatal care. This project supports the feasibility of virtual POCUS education for NNPs. Targeted educational interventions may help address existing knowledge gaps, promote evidence-based UVC placement practices, and enhance patient safety in the NICU. - Loading...
