Right atrial ECG recording via a saline-filled polyethylene catheter is a safe and effective bedside technique for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias in intensive care.
Right atrial ECG recording by means of a polyethylene catheter filled with 5% saline has been performed as a bedside procedure in 100 patients in a unit for intensive coronary care. It has proved a safe and useful method in the differential diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias, providing tracings of a good quality and clear definition of atrial activity.
