“…A fairly common complication is malposition of the catheter. [4] The most common site of malposition is at the entrance into the internal jugular vein. [1] Lumley and Russell reported that neck compression is a useful test for diagnosing this complication because neck compression on the side of malposition will impede the flow in the vein.…”

“…Cannulation of central veins is a routine procedure in the management of severely ill patients. Complications of catheter tip misplacement occur rarely, but have to be kept in mind, given the percentage of catheters found in unsatisfactory locations (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9).…”

We evaluated 160 electrocardiograms taken after placement of central venous catheters (CVC) to determine their locations. Usable recordings were obtained in 154 patients. Subsequent radiographs revealed 30 misplaced catheters. Twenty-five of those were detected by CVC electrocardiograms. There were five false positive and five false negative traces. The sensitivity of CVC electrocardiography was 96%, the specificity 83.3%, and the total predictive power 93.5%. Electrocardiograms obtained from guide-wires were of significantly better quality than those from 0.9% NaCl filled catheters. The technique is accurate, safe and easy to learn. It may reduce the need for routine radiographic control to less than 10% of patients.
