ECG
The ECG-guided PICC tip detection method will be used to identify catheter tip location during the procedural placement of the catheter. This method involves an ECG monitor which will be connected to the guidewire used for catheter placement. The changes in the ECG p-wave will guide correct PICC placement. An X-ray radiograph will be conducted to confirm the tip location after PICC placement.
Surface prediction length method
The method will estimate the length of the catheter from puncture site to the junction of superior vena cava / right atrium (SVC-RA) . Tip location is placed according to the estimated length but later on will be determinated by chest X-ray performed after the placement procedure. If the tip location is not at an ideal place, additional procedures and X-ray radiograph would be required in order to ensure proper tip location.
