I was told that a study was done revealing increased compliance with aseptic technique when a pre-made kit was used vs gathering supplies. I think most of us know that is true but I can not find any studies on this.

For CVAD insertion, a complete kit or a cart containing everything is the standard of care for the reason you mentioned. This is stated in the 2014 SHEA Compendium and the 2016 INS Standards. Look at the references supporting these statements in those documents. Lynn
