No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Insertion of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) at the bedside may result in tip malposition. This study was designed to evaluate whether the addition of ultrasound (US) inspection of the ipsilateral neck provides immediate recognition of PICCs in aberrant position facilitating catheter reposition prior to completion of the procedure.

Conditions

  • Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Insertion Technique

Interventions

OTHER
