Abstract:
Objective To summarize the placement, maintenance, and safety of a high-pressure resistant peripherally inserted central catheter. Methods Ten patients were peripherally placed with this catheter (included 4Fr-single lumen, 5Fr-dual lumen, and 6Fr-three lumen) using ultrasound-guided Seldinger technique in Peking Union Medical College Hospital in August 2010. The therapeutic effectiveness and safety were evaluated. Result Ten catheters were inserted successfully into the upper arms, with few complications noted during routine maintenance. Conclusions This peripherally inserted central catheter can be used for high-pressure injection, central venous pressure monitoring, and fast flow-speed transfusion. Therefore, it can be successfully applied for contrast-enhanced CT angiography and massive fluid infusion.
