Insertion of PICC With Intracavitary ECG Navigation

Insertion of PICC With Intracavitary ECG Navigation

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

Overview

The study subjects who are indicated for peripherally inserted central (PICC) catheter placement will undergo this procedure under the control of ECG, the correct position of the PICC catheter tip will be subsequently verified X-ray imaging.

Description

The study subjects who are indicated for PICC catheter placement will undergo this procedure under the control of electrocardiography (ECG), the correct position of the PICC catheter tip will be subsequently verified X-ray imaging.

Conducting this study should allow us to see the feasibility of using real-time ECG navigation, its accuracy comparing to the chest X-ray method. The second goal is to eliminate chest X-ray as an obsolete method, Also the advantages and disadvantages of both methods will be assessed.
