Abstract:
Objective:To summarize and analyze the literature on the application of the Sherlock 3CG Tip Confirmation System (TCS) in peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement, providing evidence for clinical practice and related research using Sherlock 3CG TCS.Methods:A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and VIP databases, with the retrieval period covering database inception to November 20, 2023. Two researchers independently extracted data from the included studies, including author, publication year, country, study type, study population, sample size, outcome indicators, and the definition of optimal tip position.Results:A total of 18 studies were included. The primary study population consisted of adults requiring PICC placement, with only one study focusing on children. Outcome indicators evaluated the system 's effectiveness, safety, accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. Conclusions:Sherlock 3CG TCS demonstrates good effectiveness and safety, improves the accuracy of PICC tip positioning, is convenient and easy to use, reduces patient burden and healthcare costs, and enhances the confidence and satisfaction of catheter placement personnel. Further large-sample, multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these findings.
