The intracavitary electrocardiography method for positioning the tip of epicutaneous cava catheter in neonates: Pilot study.

CONCLUSION: We conclude that the intracavitary electrocardiography method is safe and accurate in neonates as demonstrated in pediatric and adult patients. The applicability of the method is 97% and its feasibility is 79%. The overall accuracy is 76% but it rises to 97% if "peak" P wave is detected. PMID: 29552936 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
