Magnetic Tracking and ECG-Guided Tip Confirmation System for PICCs

Conditions studied: Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters

In brief

This prospective study enrolled cancer patients who underwent peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement at a tertiary care oncology hospital in Guangzhou between January 1st and May 30th, 2026. Data on catheterization outcomes and complications were collected to compare two tip positioning techniques: electromagnetic navigation tip positioning and traditional electrocardiogram (ECG)-guided positioning. The outcomes assessed included first-attempt catheterization success rate, tip positioning accuracy, catheterization procedure time, post-procedural catheter adjustment time, and the incidence of complications (thrombosis, infection, and catheter dysfunction) within 4 weeks post-catheterization.
