Abstract :

 A Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) insertion training innovation, Girebu trainer is a cheap, simple locally made innovation which has immense utility in training doctors & nurses on insertion of PICC. All sick neonates, infants & children need IV fluid therapy for longer duration, necessitating use of PICC. It is difficult to put PICC effectively unless trained & hence there is less use of PICC. To train the technical resource the Girerebu PICC trainer has been innovated. It has been pilot tested by 20 learners with mixed composition with definite positive outcome in terms of skill confidence & attitude.
