Briefly summarized, embodiments of the present invention are directed to reconfirmation of a position of a catheter or other indwelling device that has been placed with the assistance of ECG signals of the patient. The system and methods described herein enable a clinician to confirm whether the distal tip of the indwelling catheter remains positioned in the same location as when the catheter was initially placed. Should the tip be found to have migrated to another position, steps can be taken to return it to its proper position.
In one embodiment a method for reconfirming a position of an indwelling medical device within a body of a patient comprises first placing the medical device within the body of the patient using ECG signals of the patient. A first ECG signal profile relating to an initial position of the indwelling medical device after initial placement of the medical device is complete is stored. A second ECG signal profile relating to a position of the indwelling medical device at a time subsequent to initial placement of the medical device is then acquired. The first ECG signal profile is compared with the second ECG signal profile to determine whether displacement of the indwelling medical device has occurred after initial placement of the medical device. If displacement has occurred, the clinician can take the necessary steps to reposition the catheter as needed.
These and other features of embodiments of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims, or may be learned by the practice of embodiments of the invention as set forth hereinafter.
A more particular description of the present disclosure will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof that are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. Example embodiments of the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
Reference will now be made to figures wherein like structures will be provided with like reference designations. It is understood that the drawings are diagrammatic and schematic representations of exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and are neither limiting nor necessarily drawn to scale.
For clarity it is to be understood that the word “proximal” refers to a direction relatively closer to a clinician using the device to be described herein, while the word “distal” refers to a direction relatively further from the clinician. For example, the end of a catheter placed within the body of a patient is considered a distal end of the catheter, while the catheter end remaining outside the body is a proximal end of the catheter. Also, the words “including,” “has,” and “having,” as used herein, including the claims, shall have the same meaning as the word “comprising.”
Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to reconfirmation of a position of a catheter or other indwelling device that has been placed with the assistance of ECG signals of the patient. As is explained herein, the system and methods described herein particularly enable a clinician to confirm whether the distal tip of the indwelling catheter remains positioned in the same location as when the catheter was initially placed. Should the tip be found to have migrated to another position, steps can be taken to return it to its proper position.
Reference is first made to
In greater detail and as mentioned above,
The console 20 houses various components necessary for operation of the system 10. A processor 22, including non-volatile memory such as EEPROM for instance, is included in the console 20 for controlling system function during operation of the system 10, thus acting as a control processor. A digital controller/analog interface 24 is also included with the console 20 and is in communication with both the processor 22 and other system components to govern interfacing between the ultrasound probe 40, sensor 50, and other system components.
The console 20 further includes ports 52 for connection with the sensor 50 and optional components 54 including a printer, storage media, keyboard, etc. The ports 52 in one embodiment are USB ports, though other port types or a combination of port types can be used for this and the other interfaces connections described herein. A power connection 56 is included with the console 20 to enable operable connection to an external power supply 58. An internal battery 60 can also be employed, either with or exclusive of an external power supply. Power management circuitry 59 is included with the digital controller/analog interface 24 of the console to regulate power use and distribution.
The display 30 of the system 10 in the present embodiment is integrated into the console 20 and is used to display information to the clinician during the catheter placement procedure, and as will be seen, during reconfirmation of catheter distal tip position in accordance with embodiments to be described below. Optionally, the display may be separate from the console. In one embodiment, a console button interface 32 and buttons included on the probe 40 can be used to control functionality of the system 10 during the catheter placement procedure. Thus, the single display 30 of the system console 20 can be employed for ultrasound guidance in accessing a patient's vasculature, ECG-based confirmation of catheter distal tip placement with respect to a node of the patient's heart, as well as subsequent confirmation of catheter distal tip position, as will be seen below. In one embodiment, the display 30 is an LCD device.
As mentioned above, the ultrasound probe 40 is employed in connection with ultrasound (“US”)-based visualization of a subcutaneous vessel, such as a vein, in preparation for insertion of the catheter 72 into the vasculature. Such visualization gives real time ultrasound guidance for introducing the catheter into the vasculature of the patient (via the insertion site 73) and assists in reducing complications typically associated with such introduction, including inadvertent arterial puncture, hematoma, pneumothorax, etc.
The handheld probe 40 includes a head housing a piezoelectric array for producing ultrasonic pulses and for receiving echoes thereof after reflection by the patient's body when the head is placed against the patient's skin proximate the prospective insertion site 73. The probe 40 can further include a plurality of control buttons for controlling the system 10, thus eliminating the need for the clinician to reach out of the sterile field, which is established about the patient insertion site prior to catheter placement, to control system functionality.
As such, in one embodiment a clinician employs the ultrasound modality of the system 10 to determine a suitable insertion site and establish vascular access, such as with a needle or introducer, then with the catheter. The clinician can then seamlessly switch, via button pushes on the buttons included on the probe 40, to an ECG-based catheter tip guidance modality (described below), without having to reach out of the sterile field. In this way, the system 10 assists the clinician in guiding the distal tip of the catheter 72 through the vasculature toward an intended destination.
As mentioned, the system 10 includes functionality wherein determination of the proximity of the catheter distal tip 76A relative to a sino-atrial (“SA”) or other electrical impulse-emitting node of the heart of the patient 70 can be determined, thus providing enhanced ability to accurately place the catheter distal tip in a desired location proximate the node. Also referred to herein as “ECG” or “ECG-based tip confirmation,” this modality of the system 10 enables detection of ECG signals from the SA node in order to place the catheter distal tip in a desired location within the patient vasculature. Note that the US and ECG modalities are seamlessly combined in the present system 10, and can be employed in concert or individually to assist in catheter placement. In addition, other modalities, such as magnetic element-based catheter tip location, can also be included in the system 10. In one embodiment, it is understood that the ECG modality as described herein can be included in a stand-alone system without the inclusion of the US or other modalities. Thus, the environments in which the embodiments herein are described are understood as merely example environments and are not considered limiting of the present disclosure. Note also that other ECG-based guidance/monitoring systems can be employed in connection with the distal tip reconfirmation embodiments described further below.
Reference and ground ECG skin electrodes 138 attach to the skin surface of the patient 70 and are operably attached to the sensor 50 to enable the system to filter out high level electrical activity unrelated to the electrical activity of the SA node of the heart, thus enabling the ECG-based tip confirmation functionality. Together with the reference and ground signals received from the ECG skin electrodes 138 placed on the patient's skin, the ECG signals sensed by the stylet electrode are received by the sensor 50 positioned on the patient's chest or other designated component of the system 10. The sensor 50 and/or console processor 22 can process the ECG signal data to produce an electrocardiogram waveform on the display 30. In the case where the sensor 50 processes the ECG signal data, a processor is included therein to perform the intended functionality. If the console 20 processes the ECG signal data, the processor 22, controller 24, or other processor can be utilized in the console to process the data.
Thus, as the catheter 72 is advanced through the patient vasculature, the display 30 depicts an ECG electrocardiogram waveform produced as a result of patient heart's electrical activity as detected by the electrode of the stylet 130. In greater detail, the ECG electrical activity of the SA node, including a P-wave portion of the waveform, is detected by the electrode of the stylet 130 and forwarded to the sensor 50 and console 20. The ECG electrical activity is then processed for depiction on the display 30. A clinician placing the catheter can then observe the ECG data, including depiction of the P-wave, to determine optimum placement of the distal tip 76A of the catheter 72, such as proximate the SA node in one embodiment.
Note that the ECG waveform and its P-wave change as the electrode of the stylet 130 is moved relative to the SA node of the patient's heart For instance, the P-wave of the ECG waveform will generally increase in amplitude as the electrode approaches the SA node and will generally decrease as the electrode recedes from the SA node. As mentioned, in one embodiment the console 20 includes the electronic components, such as the processor 22, necessary to receive and process the ECG signals detected by the stylet electrode. In another embodiment, the sensor 50 can include the necessary electronic components to process the ECG signals. Further details regarding the catheter placement system described herein and its use can be found in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010/0036227, filed Sep. 10, 2009, and entitled “Apparatus and Display Methods Relating to Intravascular Placement of a Catheter,” which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Of course, it is appreciated that the ECG-based catheter placement system described above is but one example of an ECG monitor that can be used to practice the embodiments disclosed herein; indeed, other ECG-based monitoring and placement systems can also be employed.
Note that the electrode of the stylet 130 in the present embodiment includes a distal portion of the conductive stylet wire such that ECG signals are detected and transmitted via the stylet wire to the tether 134 and the sensor 50. It is noted, however, that an electrode used to detect intravascular ECG signals can be configured in many different ways. As such, “electrode” as used herein can generally refer to any structure that can be used to detect ECG signals from the heart of the patient. As will be seen, an electrode in other embodiments can include a portion of a column of conductive solution disposed in a lumen of the catheter, among other possible electrode configurations.
As described further above, monitoring of changes in the detected ECG signal emitted by the SA node as the stylet electrode(s) is advanced within the vasculature enables the clinician placing the catheter to determine when the distal tip of the catheter 72 is positioned as desired within the vasculature. Again, one example of a desirable catheter distal tip position includes placement thereof in the lower ⅓rd of the Superior Vena Cava (“SVC”). After placement of the catheter 72 is complete, the stylet 130 is removed from the lumen of the catheter 72 and the catheter is prepped for initial use. The ECG waveform detected when the distal tip 76A of the catheter 72 is initially placed in its desired position within the patient vasculature is also referred to herein as the first ECG signal profile.
It is often desirable to re-confirm the position of the catheter distal tip 76A at a later time after initial placement of the catheter so as to ensure that no malposition or displacement of the distal tip has inadvertently occurred. In turn, this ensures that medicaments or other solutions delivered to the patient via the catheter are delivered to the desired region of the vasculature. The system 10 or other suitable ECG monitoring system can be employed in reconfirming proper catheter distal tip position post-placement.
In one embodiment, such reconfirmation of catheter distal tip placement can be achieved by measuring the ECG waveform—also referred to herein as a second ECG signal profile—detected at or near the distal tip of the in-place catheter via a suitably placed electrode, then comparing the second ECG profile with the first ECG profile taken when the catheter 72 was initially placed using the system 10.
In order to measure ECG signals at the indwelling catheter distal tip and thus acquire the second ECG profile, a suitable conductive path must be present in the catheter 72 to enable ECG signals with respect to the catheter distal tip to be detected and transmitted to the system 10 or other suitable ECG monitor. In one embodiment, a conductive wire temporarily disposed in the catheter is used as the conductive medium, with its distal end serving as an electrode for detection of ECG signals. The conductive wire can be inserted through one of the luer connectors 74C and its respective extension leg 74B, then distally through a lumen of the catheter 72. Knowing the length of the in-place catheter 72, the wire is advanced until its distal end is proximate to or co-terminal with the distal tip 76A of the catheter.
A proximal end of the conductive wire extending beyond the proximal end of the catheter 72 and out the extension leg 74B through which the wire extends is operably connected to the system 10 in a manner similar to that of the stylet 130 and tether 134 of
As mentioned, the conductive wire configured as discussed immediately above is similar to the stylet 130 shown in
In addition to the conductive solution 200, the conductive path of the embodiment of
In order to compare the first ECG signal profile acquired at the time of initial catheter distal tip placement with a subsequent second ECG profile measured at the time of distal tip position reconfirmation, a storage component for storage of the first ECG signal profile at the time of initial placement is necessary. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by fitting the system 10 or other suitable ECG monitor system with a card reader/encoder 250, an example of which is shown in
Later, when reconfirmation of the position of the distal tip 76A of the previously placed catheter 72 (
A new ECG signal measurement, using an electrode disposed at or near the distal tip 76A of the catheter 72 and the suitable conductive path interconnecting the electrode with the system 10, is then taken to produce a second ECG signal profile relating to the current catheter distal tip position within the vasculature. The second ECVG signal profile can, like the first ECG signal profile, also be depicted on the display 30 of the system console 20. The two ECG signal profiles can be superimposed as ECG waveforms atop one another and compared in some suitable manner (e.g., measurement of P-wave absolute voltage values) so as determine whether the distal tip 76A of the catheter 72 has been undesirably displaced. If so, proper procedures can be undertaken by the clinician to suitably re-position the catheter distal tip 76A. If it has not been displaced, the catheter 72 can be used as intended. Note that the specific order of the process described above can vary in other embodiments. For instance, acquisition of the second ECG signal profile can take place before inputting the first ECG signal profile into the system, in one embodiment.
In addition to the first ECG signal profile, other data can be stored on the RFID chip 270 (or the card 254 of
The right side of the screenshot 300 also shows additional data 314 regarding the patient, catheter type, catheter length, etc. Of course, the ECG signal and other data depicted here can take one or more of many forms and formats. Indeed, the data content can vary according to desire or need, as appreciated by one skilled in the art. In one embodiment for instance, both the peak P-wave magnitude during initial catheter placement, as well as the P-wave magnitude after catheter pull-back for final distal tip positioning during initial placement, are stored for later comparison with similar magnitudes taken at time of tip reconfirmation.
Thus, according to one embodiment a method is disclosed for reconfirming a position of a catheter or other indwelling medical device within a body of a patient. The method includes placing the medical device within the body of the patient using ECG signals of the patient, then storing a first ECG signal profile that relates to an initial position of the indwelling medical device after initial placement of the medical device is complete. As mentioned, the first ECG signal profile can be stored on a patient card, an RFID chip, in system memory, writing down or printing the ECG signal data, or on another suitable storage component. The method further includes acquiring a second ECG signal profile relating to a position of the indwelling medical device at a time after initial placement of the medical device, and comparing the first ECG signal profile with the second ECG signal profile to determine whether displacement of the indwelling medical device has occurred after initial placement of the medical device. Note that comparing the profiles can be performed directly by a clinician observing the waveforms depicted on the console display 30, or automatically by suitable algorithms executable by the processor 22 of the console 20.
Embodiments of the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative, not restrictive. The scope of the embodiments is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
