Assessing pripherally inserted central catheter tip location in multiple postures: A case report
This report presents a case involving a 21-year-old male patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia, where the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip location was diagnosed differently using ultrasound and computed tomography. The PICC was inserted into the left upper arm via the basilic v...

description | This report presents a case involving a 21-year-old male patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia, where the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip location was diagnosed differently using ultrasound and computed tomography. The PICC was inserted into the left upper arm via the basilic vein. Echocardiography performed in the left lateral recumbent position suggested the PICC tip to be in the right atrium, deepest at the level of the tricuspid annulus. However, trans-catheter contrast-enhanced echocardiography, performed with a different posture involving left shoulder abduction and slight external rotation, revealed the tip to be at the cavo-atrial junction. Additionally, chest computed tomography, conducted in the supine position with raised arms, indicated the tip to be located at the upper one-third of the superior vena cava. These contradictory diagnoses can be attributed to the use of different body postures during the assessments. Considering the clinical efficacy and safety, it is crucial to fully consider the influence of multiple postures on PICC tip location during placement and determination. We recommend incorporating at least two opposite extreme daily postures to assess the nearest and farthest positions of the tip, ensuring effective and safe PICC placement and reducing the risk of complications. |
