Abstract
Abstract Background We analyzed the success and catheter tip malposition rates of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement using ultrasonic monitoring. Methods A total of 564 patients were recruited and assigned to either the intervention or control group. In the intervention group, 282 patients underwent ultrasound-guided PICC insertion, which helped to identify the position and depth of the catheter tip. From a total of 9000 patients, 282 were selectively chosen to receive the traditional method using body surface measurements (control group). The primary endpoint was the success rate; the secondary endpoint was the catheter tip malposition rate as detected by postprocedure chest radiography. Results In the intervention group, a total of 94 catheters were in a suboptimal position; 26 were too deep, 68 were too shallow, and 1 was inserted into the subclavian vein, with success and malposition rates of 66.3% and 0.4%, respectively. In the control group, 139 catheters were in a suboptimal position; 88 were too deep, 51 were too shallow, 9 were inserted into the jugular vein, and 2 were inserted into the subclavian vein, with success and malposition rates of 46.8% (P < 0.001) and 3.9% (P = 0.004), respectively. Significant differences were observed in success and malposition rates between the 2 groups. Conclusion Ultrasound-guided PICC procedures achieved higher success rates and lower malposition rates.
