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

CONCLUSION:: These results indicated that during peripherally inserted central catheters insertion in adult patients, tip location with intracavitary electrocardiogram guidance, as carried out by a new tip-conductive peripherally inserted central catheters and intracavitary electrocardiogram integrated ultrasound device, was more effective and more accurate than tip location using anatomical landmarks.
