Abstract:
The best tip position of PICC is located in the inferior 1/3 of superior vena cava to the junction between superior vena cava and right atrium. Ensuring the best tip position of PICC is very important for the treatment of patients. In this paper, the applications of X-ray positioning, electrocardiograph, ultrasound, electrocardiograph Doppler ultrasound guidance, and electromagnetic navigation system in PICC tip positioning technology are reviewed. The future development of PICC tip positioning technology is prospected.
