In Vivo Biomechanical Analysis of the Practitioner's Motion During a Peripheral Venous Catheter Insertion
In Vivo Biomechanical Analysis of the Practitioner's Motion During a Peripheral Venous Catheter Insertion
The aim of this study is to analyze the palpation and perforation motion performed by the
 practitioner during the insertion of a catheter while measuring the loads applied on the skin
 and the veins.

 These experimental measures will be used for the design of a more realistic peripheral venous
 catheter insertion simulator in order to better prepare healthcare students for their first
 in vivo venous puncture.
