Does a modified intracavitary electrocardiographic technique accurately detect the location of central venous catheter tips in patients with atrial fibrillation?
A modified intracavitary ECG technique utilizing f wave activity can accurately and safely guide central venous catheter tip placement to the cavo-atrial junction in patients with atrial fibrillation.
A modified intracavitary electrocardiographic technique can be safely used for detecting the location of the tip of central venous catheters in atrial fibrillation patients: the highest activity of the f waves is an accurate indicator of the location of the tip at the cavo-atrial junction.
