Does transthoracic echocardiography with bubble test accurately and safely verify central venous catheter tip location in patients with atrial arrhythmia?
Transthoracic echocardiography with a bubble test is a feasible, safe, and accurate bedside technique for verifying central venous catheter tip location in patients with atrial arrhythmias.
Tip location of central venous catheter by transthoracic echocardiography with bubble test is feasible, safe, and accurate in patients with atrial arrhythmia. This method can also be applied in peripherally inserted central catheters; however, further studies may be needed to confirm its use in this type of catheters.
