Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare a new intracavitary ECG guiding method for real-time positioning the tip of three-way valve type peripherally inserted central catheters versus conventional surface prediction length method in terms of single-time target rate.

Conditions

  • Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter
  • Intracavitary Electrocardiogram Guiding

Interventions

DEVICE

ECG

The ECG-guided PICC tip detection method will be used to identify catheter tip location during the procedural placement of the catheter. This method involves an ECG monitor which will be connected to the guidewire used for catheter placement. The changes in the ECG p-wave will guide correct PICC placement. An X-ray radiograph will be conducted to confirm the tip location after PICC placement.

PROCEDURE

Surface prediction length method

The method will estimate the length of the catheter from puncture site to the junction of superior vena cava / right atrium (SVC-RA) . Tip location is placed according to the estimated length but later on will be determinated by chest X-ray performed after the placement procedure. If the tip location is not at an ideal place, additional procedures and X-ray radiograph would be required in order to ensure proper tip location.
