No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to compare two techniques of placing a peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC). The first technique, uses ECG based electromagnetic guidance (ECG-EM). The second (reference technique), is guided by X-ray (fluoroscopy).

Conditions

  • Long Term Antibiotics
  • Chemotherapy
  • Total Parenteral Nutrition

Interventions

DEVICE

ECG-EM Guidance

ECG-EM method consists on a puncture of an arm vein, under the ultrasound control and local anesthesia. The length of the PICC is estimated prior to its insertion using morphological landmarks. The placement of the PICC is done using SHERLOCK 3CG™ Diamond Tip Confirmation System (TCS) \[CE marked device, C. R. Bard, Inc.\]. At the end of procedure, a chest x-ray is performed to assess the PICC position

DEVICE

FX Guidance

FX method consists on a puncture of an arm vein, under the ultrasound control and local anesthesia. Through the point of puncture, a long wire is then introduced and directed to the level of the target zone located in the superior vena cava under fluoroscopy control. The length of the guide inside the vessel is then measured to adjust the length of the PICC necessary for its optimal positioning. At the end of procedure, a chest x-ray is performed to assess the PICC position
