Study Overview

Brief Summary

This prospective comparative study evaluates the accuracy and time efficiency of saline flush echocardiography test versus chest radiography for confirming central venous catheter tip position in ICU patients. CVCs will be inserted using the Peres formula, followed by both saline flush test and chest X-ray. The study aims to determine if echocardiography provides comparable accuracy with faster confirmation times.
