Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the accuracy of central venous catheter (CVC) tip placement using chest X-ray (CXR) landmarks, aiming to reduce inconsistencies in positioning.
- Researchers analyzed chest CT scans of 100 patients to establish the relationship between the cavoatrial junction (CAJ) and specific CXR landmarks, measuring the vertical distances for comparison across different demographics.
- The findings revealed a new landmark, the mid-superior right heart border, which is the closest to the CAJ and suggests that CVC tips can be placed at this position for improved accuracy.
