An Accuracy Study of the Intracavitary Electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) Guided Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Tip Placement among Neonates.

Objective: To explore the clinical application of the intracavitary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) guided Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) tip placement among neonates.

Background: the ECGs of neonates are difficult to perform and their wave shapes are of doubtful accuracy due to various interfering factors.

Method: 115 neonates were admitted to perform PICC guided by IC-ECG.
