Identification and repositioning of catheter malposition during PICC insertion in 113 cancer patients / 中华护理杂志

This paper summarized identification and reposition strategies of catheter malposition in 113 cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheters(PICCs) during catheterization.In the process of PICC catheterization,catheter malposition was identified by ultrasound and ECG in a real-time manner.A series of timely and effective reposition procedures were performed by internal jugular vein blocking,breathing combined with anterior segment wire withdrawal Overall,111 cases were successfully repositioned,the success rate was 98.23％,and 2 cases failed because of other reasons such as diseases.
