Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participant performs IV catheter insertion using 3 techniques: 1 (Self-advancement single hand), technique 2 (Self-advancement both hands), and technique 3 (second person assisted) in randomized order. Total time required: Approximately 5 minutes. Participant completes Participant Questionnaire. Participant's participation is concluded.
In this study, the observation to be carried out is the total distance of needle tip movement while performing the initial intravenous catheter advancement off of the needle using three different catheter advancement techniques including: Self-advancement with one hand; Self-advancement with two hands; Catheter advancement by another individual.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Anesthesiology Healthcare providers/professionals
Investigating whether needle tip movement during catheter advancement is affected by whether the individual performing the insertion pushes the catheter off the needle themselves (either one handed or two handed) or if the catheter is advanced off the needle by another person.
Assessing the impact of three different catheter advancement techniques on needle tip movement during intravenous insertion
Each participant will perform 3 simulated IV catheter insertions using each of the specified techniques. Participants will use the instrumented 16ga IV catheter to insert into the peripheral vascular access simulator. Needle tip movement (from intent of catheter advancement to 5mm of advancement off the needle) will be measured with 0.2mm accuracy using the electromagnetic tracking technology of the simulator. Data collected will include needle movement after simulated vein punction and during initial catheter advancement off the needle (in mm) which will be recorded within the simulation program and output as a de-identified Excel file
