About this study

The study subjects who are indicated for PICC catheter placement will undergo this procedure under the control of electrocardiography (ECG), the correct position of the PICC catheter tip will be subsequently verified X-ray imaging.

Conducting this study should allow us to see the feasibility of using real-time ECG navigation, its accuracy comparing to the chest X-ray method. ´ The second goal is to eliminate chest X-ray as an obsolete method, Also the advantages and disadvantages of both methods will be assessed.

  • non-signing the informed consent form

Treatment and study plan

ECG verification

Other

The correct positioning of the PICC catheter tip will be verified using ECG.

X-ray verification

Other

The correct positioning of the PICC catheter tip will be verified using X-ray imaging.

Primary outcomes

  1. Time interval between ECG and X-ray

    Time frame: 2 hours

    The time elapsed between performing the ECG examination and the X-ray examination will be measured in minutes.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Success-rate of correct PICC tip location

    Time frame: 2 hours

    The success-rate of correct PICC tip location will be determined using ECG navigation against the use of chest X-ray, and expressed as distance in centimetres from the target point.
