Popis: Abstract Background We compared the methods of electrocardiogram (ECG) and X‐ray localization of the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip position, in order to find a more convenient, practical, and safe method. Objective To investigate the value of applying electrocardiographic localization of the PICC tip position in critically ill patients with advanced cancer in Hebei Province, China. Method Enrolled 137 advanced cancers requiring PICC placement. The position of the catheter tip was localized with the bedside electrocardiogram in real time. Then, the localization was performed using a chest X‐ray (the gold standard). The accuracy of electrocardiographic location was checked. Results Specific P waves were observed in 130 patients. No change in the P waves was observed for the remaining seven patients. The age of the latter group of patients was more advanced (87.29 [5.15] years), a significant difference to that of the 130 patients with specific P waves (71.58 [14.84] years) (t = −6.704, p
