The goal of this study was to determine the best method for localizing peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in postplacement portable chest radiographs. A retrospective analysis showed no significant difference in visualization of the PICC tip between different chest radiograph projections. Modifications were made to an institutional PICC protocol to obtain anteroposterior chest views with the guidewire present only. Repeat analysis demonstrated statistically significant increases in the frequency of anteroposterior radiographs performed, the number of chest radiographs with guidewire, and the localization of the catheter. By standardizing the acquisition of PICC placement chest radiographs, fewer variant projection radiographs were performed and the catheter tip was confidently localized in more examinations.
本研究的目的是确定在放置外周中心静脉导管（PICC）后便携式胸部X光片中定位导管的最佳方法。一项回顾性分析表明，不同胸部X光片投照方式在PICC尖端显影方面无显著差异。对机构的PICC操作流程进行了修改，以仅在导丝存在的情况下获取前后位胸部影像。重复分析显示，前后位X光片的拍摄频率、带有导丝的胸部X光片数量以及导管定位均有统计学上的显著增加。通过规范PICC放置胸部X光片的采集，进行的变异投照X光片数量减少，并且在更多检查中导管尖端能够可靠定位。
