Insertion of peripherally inserted central catheters with intracavitary electrocardiogram guidance: A randomized multicenter study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Ultrasound-guided venipuncture and tip location by intracavitary electrocardiogram have many advantages during the insertion of peripherally inserted central catheters, both in terms of safety and cost-effectiveness. Recently, a new tip-conductive peripherally inserted central catheters and new Doppler ultrasound device integrated with intracavitary electrocardiogram have been introduced into clinical practice in China. A randomized multicenter study (clinical trial no. NCT03230357) was performed to verify the feasibility and accuracy of intracavitary electrocardiogram, as performed with this new peripherally inserted central catheters and device.

Methods

Our study enrolled a total of 2250 adult patients in 10 different Chinese hospitals. The patients were rando
