Abstract Background: The objective was to assess current training preferences, expertise, and comfort with transfemoral access (TFA) and transradial access (TRA) amongst cardiovascular training fellows and teaching faculty in United States. As TRA continues to dominate the field of interventional cardiology, there is a concern that trainees may become less proficient with the femoral approach. Methods: A detailed questionnaire was sent out to academic General Cardiovascular and Interventional Cardiology training programs in the United states. Responses were sought from fellows-in-training and faculty regarding preferences and practice of TFA and TRA. Answers were analyzed for significant differences between trainees and trainers using the Pearson χ2 or Fisher’s exact test, or the Student t test or the Mann–Whitney U test. Results: A total of 125 respondents (75 fellows-in-traing and 50 faculty) completed and returned the survey. The average grade of comfort for TFA, on a scale of 0 to 10 (10 being most comfortable), was reported to be 6 by fellows-in-training and 10 by teaching faculty (p < 0.001). TRA was the first preference in 95% of the fellows-in-training compared to 69% of teaching faculty (p 0.001). While 62% of fellows believed that they would receive the same level of training as their trainers by the time they graduate, only 35% of their trainers believed so (p 0.004).Conclusion: The shift from TFA to radial first has resulted in significant concern among cardiovascular fellows-in training and the faculty regarding training in TFA. Cardiovascular training programs must be cognizant of this issue and should devise methods to assure optimal training of fellows in gaining TFA and managing femoral access-related complications.

The Status

This summary article discusses the status of the nursing shortage in the United States, with emphasis on successful strategies to address it. Liaisons between the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) and the Society for Critical Care Medicine, as well as with the American College of Cardiology, are highlighted, with primary emphasis on the strategy of nurse-physician collaboration.
