?I definitely am better with ultrasound than without, but even without ultrasound, I have higher first stick success compared to some residents using ultrasound, does that mean I should never let them learn or practice arterial lines.
It means you should teach them the safest and most effective way to do something.
This idea of purposely handicapping learners by teaching old or blind techniques, because maybe they'll need to do it without an ultrasound machine, is weird.
