Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The number of dysfunction, repositioning and relocation composite episodes due to NTC tip placement on the second intercostal space versus the fourth intercostal space.<br><br>Disfunction is defined as the impossibility of the NTC to provide adequate blood flow (>250 mL/min).<br><br>Repositioning is defined as the need to accommodate the catheter because the tip of the NTC, assessed by anteroposterior radiography, is below the atrio-cava junction.<br><br>Relocation is defined as the need to remove and place a new NTC, because the tip of the NTC was lodged 1 cm above the bronchial carina, evaluated with an anteroposterior radiography.[48 hours post-catheter placement.]
