摘要：
An integrated catheter placement system for accurately placing a catheter withina patient's vasculature is disclosed. In one embodiment, the integratedsystem comprises a system console, a tip location sensor for temporary placementon the patient's chest, and an ultrasound probe. The tip location sensorsenses a magnetic field of a stylet disposed in a lumen of the catheter when thecatheter is disposed in the vasculature. The ultrasound probe ultrasonicallyimages a portion of the vasculature prior to intravascular introduction of thecatheter. The ultrasound probe includes user input controls for controllinguse of the ultrasound probe in an ultrasound mode and use of the tip location sensorin a tip location mode. In another embodiment, ECG signal- based catheter tipguidance is included in the integrated system to enable guidance of the cathetertip to a desired position with respect to a node of the patient's heart.
