Hace 5 días · This chapter covers the anatomy involved in the placement of external ventricular drains (EVDs) and lumbar drains (LDs). It is intended to provide a rationale for drain use and a reference on the two types of procedures for both the neurosurgeon and the medical care team.

Hace 2 días · Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) diversion via external ventricular drain (EVD) or lumbar drain (LD) placement is frequently the first-line neurosurgical intervention for patients with acute brain injuries.
1 de abr. de 2024 · Placement of an external ventricular drainage (EVD) is one of the most frequent procedures in neurosurgery, but it has specific challenges and risks in the pediatric population. We here investigate the indications, management, and shunt conversion rates of an EVD.
15 de abr. de 2024 · After aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) due to disrupted cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics is a critical concern. An external ventricular drainage (EVD) is commonly employed for management; however, optimal strategies remain debated.
16 de abr. de 2024 · Introduction. Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) with external ventricular drains (EVD) can develop chronic hydrocephalus (HCP), requiring permanent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion via an external shunt. Two different strategies have been used to assess for dependence on EVD: 1) prompt closure, and 2) gradual weaning.
11 de abr. de 2024 · External ventricular drains (EVDs) are medical devices that are inserted into the ventricles of the brain to drain excess fluid, manage intracranial hypertension, monitor intracranial pressure, and administer medications.
