title: [Method for determining the position of the catheter end in the central vein].
abstract: The position of the catheter end in the central vein was studied by the x-ray, ultrasonic, and electrometric methods during catheterization of 69 veins in 66 patients. The position was incorrect in 64% cases. Electrometric method for detecting the position of the end of venous catheter is the most available for intensive care wards of municipal hospitals, because no special equipment or staff is needed, the method is simple, can be used directly during catheterization, and is cheap.
