Summary: | Devices and systems for navigation and positioning a central venous catheter within a patient. In an exemplary embodiment of a system of the present disclosure, the system comprises a first pole and a second pole, the first pole and the second pole configured to generate an electric field within a mammalian body sufficient to obtain a plurality of field measurements therein, and an elongated body configured for at least partial insertion into a blood vessel of the mammalian body and advancement through a vasculature, said advancement dependent upon the plurality of field measurements indicative of one or more locations of a portion of the elongated body within the vasculature. In at least one embodiment, the elongated body is configured as a stylet.
Dispositivos y sistemas para navegación y para posicionar un catéter venoso central dentro de un paciente. En una modalidad ilustrativa de un sistema de la presente invención, el sistema comprende un primer polo y un segundo polo, el primer polo y el segundo polo configurados para generar un campo eléctrico dentro del cuerpo de un mamífero suficiente para obtener una pluralidad de mediciones del campo dentro de este, y un cuerpo alargado configurado para insertarse al menos parcial en un vaso sanguíneo del cuerpo del mamífero y para el avance a través de una vasculatura, dicho avance que depende de la pluralidad de mediciones del campo indicativa de una o más ubicaciones de una porción del cuerpo alargado dentro de la vasculatura. En al menos una modalidad, el cuerpo alargado se configura como un estilete. |
