Abstract Purpose: To validate the formula-based central venous catheter (CVC) length measurement “tailored” to individual's height and access site for predicting optimum SVC tip position. Method: A prospective study of 3 percutaneous insertion sites (PICC, SCC and JC). Formula-based “LUM'S CVC MEASUREMENT GUIDE” was used to determine the catheter length. Results: Overall, 97% (373) of the total 382 insertions were successfully placed with CVC tip in the distal SVC (SVC between carina and atrio-cava junction) location. Conclusion: The “tailored fit” formula to individual patient height is a reliable tool to predict CVC length. Appropriate catheter length can greatly reduce the guesswork and possibility of complications related to tip malposition.

AbstractCorrect catheter position is crucial to ensuring appropriate function of the catheter and avoid complications. This paper describes a dataset consisting of 50,612 image level and 17,999 manually labelled annotations from 30,083 chest radiographs from the publicly available NIH ChestXRay14 dataset with manually annotated and segmented endotracheal tubes (ETT), nasoenteric tubes (NET) and central venous catheters (CVCs).

Percutaneous insertion of a very narrow (0.635-mm outside diameter) Silastic catheter for delivery of central hyperalimentation was performed on infants in the Newborn Intensive Care Center. Insertion of the catheter into the external jugular or basilic vein was successful in 15/17 (88%) infants, including four weighing less than 1,000 gm. Catheters remained in place for 446 patient-days (mean 24.8 ± 15.9 days). Culture-proven infection, thrombophlebitis, or caval obstruction did not occur. Percutaneously placed central Silastic catheters proved to be a safe and effective alternative to surgically placed catheters.
