Intracavitary EKG: A non-inferiority, prospective observational study comparing two methods, three devices
With the limits of the small sample size, the pure saline column methods ("red" and "yellow" connectors) present similar EKG trace quality while offering procedural simplicity and enhanced safety. By eliminating the need for a spindle, these may reduce the risk of arrhythmia and avoid possible effects of guidewire contamination. These findings support the broader adoption of pure saline column techniques to optimize catheter placement procedures.
