Abstract:

Objective To analyze relevant studies on the use of peripherally inserted central catheters(PICC) for monitoring central venous pressure(CVP),and to clarify the feasibility,accuracy,material selection,measurement methods,and precautions for monitoring CVP via PICC,providing reference for clinical practice. Methods A computer search was conducted across PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,MEDLINE,CNKI,VIP,and Wanfang Data for literature published from the inception of the databases until 2024,regarding PICC for CVP monitoring. The selected articles were summarized. Results A total of 21 studies were included,of which 19 were randomized controlled trials(RCTs) and 2 were meta-analyses. Most studies compared CVP results measured through PICC and through central venous catheter(CVC),and there was high consistency between the two. The main factors influencing the measurement of CVP by PICC included the change of thoracic pressure,patency of catheter,the inherent resistance of catheter,the position of catheter tip,and the type of catheter front opening. Conclusion The CVP values measured via PICC are consistent with those measured using CVC. PICC can be used to measure CVP when CVC placement is not feasible due to time constraints or patient-related reasons. However,attention should be given to catheter selection and the avoidance of factors that could lead to measurement errors during the process.
