Impact of peripherally inserted central venous catheter-associated phlebitis in neonate guided by intracavitary electrocardiogram: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

ABSTRACT: Because the application of intracavitary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG)-guided peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in the treatment of neonates is controversial in terms of phlebitis reduction compared with traditional X-ray positioning technique, a systematical evaluation is needed on the impact of IC-ECG on this common complication following PICC. Literature retrieval was conducted on large databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, and CNKI. Randomised controlled trials (RTCs) of intracavitary electrocardiogram-guided peripherally inserted central catheter tip placement in the treatment of neonates up to July 7, 2022, were collected. Then indicators of included studies were compared and analysed by two researchers. Meta-analysis was performed on the STATA 17.0 s
