title: [Positioning the central venous catheter using intra-atrial ECG].
abstract: In a small study (n = 9) central venous catheters were positioned in front of the right atrium using ECG. ECG was registered using a soft J-wire inside of the catheter. Big vessels were cannulated and in all cases cannulation was successful. ECG and x-ray control showed good agreement.
