Discussion

Real-time POCUS may aid non-invasive PICC correction in neonates; single-case data leaves open need for prospective validation.

Population

A 2.0 kg early-term infant with congenital heart disease requiring central venous catheter placement for persistent hypoglycaemia (n=1)

Intervention

Real-time point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)-guided correction of PICC line placement by external manipulation of the upper extremity

Outcome

Correction of PICC line placement

Real-time POCUS can guide the correction of malpositioned PICC lines in infants using external manipulation.

Suell et al. (2019) studied this question.
