Workshop on Central Venous cannulation

Event Name: Report on Workshop on Central Venous Cannulation (International Women’s Day)
Organized By: Dept of Anaesthesiology
Venue: Simulation center
Date: 09-03-2026
Time: 9:00 A.M – 1:00 P.M

In celebration of International Women’s Day, the Department of Anaesthesiology organized a Half-Day Workshop on Central Venous Cannulation at the Skill Lab, focusing on mannequin-based training to enhance procedural skills among participants.

The workshop aimed to provide hands-on training and improve the knowledge and confidence of participants in performing central venous cannulation safely and effectively. Faculty members from the Department of Anaesthesiology conducted the session and guided participants through the theoretical and practical aspects of the procedure.

The program commenced with a brief introduction highlighting the significance of International Women’s Day and the importance of empowering healthcare professionals through skill development and continuous medical education. This was followed by an interactive lecture covering the indications, anatomical landmarks, equipment required, aseptic precautions, ultrasound guidance, possible complications, and their management during central venous cannulation.

Following the theoretical session, participants attended the mannequin-based hands-on training at the skill lab. Demonstrations were provided by experienced faculty, illustrating the correct techniques for internal jugular, subclavian, and femoral venous access. Participants were then given the opportunity to practice the procedure on mannequins under expert supervision, allowing them to refine their technique in a safe and controlled environment.

The workshop encouraged active participation, discussion, and clarification of doubts. The hands-on approach significantly helped participants gain practical exposure and confidence in performing the procedure.

The event concluded with a summary of key learning points and feedback from participants, who appreciated the practical orientation and the opportunity to practice in the simulation lab. The Department of Anaesthesiology reaffirmed its commitment to promoting skill-based medical training and professional development.

Overall, the workshop was highly informative, interactive, and beneficial, successfully enhancing the procedural competency of the participants in central venous cannulation.
