No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will provide further knowledge concerning the use of electrocardiography (ECG) signals for verification of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip placement. Furthermore, it will be investigating whether use of Intravascular ECG (IVECG) for this verification is just as good as or even better than the current standard method with chest X-ray. This can help promote a method that involves less radiation and increased safety for patients, while at the same time saving resources. If use of ECG signals from the PICC tip is an equally exact method for verification of correct PICC tip placement as chest X-ray verification, the IVECG could replace chest X-ray control.

Conditions

  • Catheterization, Peripheral
  • Electrocardiography

Interventions

DEVICE

IVECG

Monitoring IVECG signals for verification for exact tip placement during the actual insertion of the PICC. When the p-wave amplitude increases the PICC-tip is in the superior vena cava. When max positive amplitude, the PICC-tip is by definition at the cavo atriale junction, and thereby in correct position.

DEVICE

Chest X-ray

Standard method; PICC confirmed by chest X-ray after the insertion (postoperatively)
