Siting Central Venous Catheters Precisely While Performing the Access Procedure

NCT05751395 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 120

Last updated 2023-03-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

For central venous catheters (CVC) to function properly, optimal tip location is of utmost importance.

One technique to verify CVC position is the ECG method. Nowadays, the ECG method is applied using the maximum P-wave amplitude (P-max).

The hypothesis is that a method believed to be precise in assessing CVC position can provide the same results for CVC tip positions regardless of their respective insertion sites.

Can the ECG method (at P-max) provide the same results for the position of CVC tips regardless of their insertion site?

Conditions

  • Central Venous Catheter

Interventions

DEVICE

Central Venous Access

Critically ill patients in severe MODS need a CVC and in some cases also a second line for e-g- blood purification techniques. All CVCs are positioned via the ECG method with the CVC tip placed at P-max. Within 24 h a chest radiograph is obtained for assessment of the CVCs, especially their tips.
