Is the intracavitary ECG method accurate, safe, and feasible for positioning the tip of central venous catheters in adult patients?
The intracavitary ECG method is an accurate, safe, and feasible technique for real-time verification of central venous catheter tip position in adults.
Our multicenter study confirms that the intracavitary ECG method for real time verification of tip position is accurate, safe, feasible in all adult patients and applicable to any type of short-term or long-term central venous access device.
