1
Five patients (33%) developed venous thromboses at the central catheter tip.
2
The catheter did not significantly increase risk to the patient beyond that of a central catheter.
3
The intracavitary electrocardiogram can be a promising technique to guide tip positioning of peripherally inserted central catheter.
4
Arterial blood gas samples showed greater oxygenation from the central catheter as compared with the peripheral arterial sample.
5
Background: Recently, intracavitary electrocardiogram technology has been applied to peripherally inserted central catheter placement and demonstrates many potential advantages.
6
The most common venous access procedure performed in children and infants is the peripherally inserted central catheter, or "PICC."
7
The fracture of a peripheral inserted central catheter represents 32,7% of cases of embolization.
8
Study eligibility criteria: Only randomized controlled trials of using intracavitary electrocardiogram technology versus X-ray method for peripherally inserted central catheter placement were included.
9
Conclusion: The intracavitary electrocardiogram method had a more favorable positioning accuracy versus traditional X-ray method for peripherally inserted central catheter placement in adult patients.
10
Methods: A central catheter maintenance bundle was implemented in 30 LTACHs, and compliance with the bundle was tracked for 6 months.
11
Aim: Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) are increasingly used as a route of chemotherapy administration.
12
An increased use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) in French hospitals has been observed in recent years.
13
Objective: Evidence-based guidelines have resulted in decreases in bloodstream infections associated with central catheters (CLABSIs) in hospital intensive care units.
14
Recently, a new tip-conductive peripherally inserted central catheters and new Doppler ultrasound device integrated with intracavitary electrocardiogram have been introduced into clinical practice in China.
15
NCT03230357) was performed to verify the feasibility and accuracy of intracavitary electrocardiogram, as performed with this new peripherally inserted central catheters and device.
16
Results: Four patients had intravenous central catheters, and 1 had recent surgery, whereas the remaining 2 had no identifiable risk factors.
