Insertion of an External Ventricular Drain (EVD) is arguably one of the most common and important lifesaving procedures in neurologic intensive care unit. Various forms of acute brain injury benefit from the continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) ...

2021年9月16日 · Before diving into the use, maintenance, and complications of external ventricular drains (EVDs), realize there are several ways to monitor intracranial pressure, both non-invasively and invasively.

External ventricular drain (EVD). One of the first topics discussed is the most suitable environment to perform EVD placement. Often in an emergency, many centers perform EVD in places other than the operating room (OR), such as the emergency room (ER) or intensive care unit (ICU).

Monitoring Evidence-based Clinical Review. An EVD is used to divert cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) primarily in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), hydrocephalus, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), meningitis, and shunt m. lfunction but are not limited to this list. The advantages of an EVD include intracranial pressure.

An external ventricular drain (EVD), also known as a ventriculostomy or extraventricular drain, is a device used in neurosurgery to treat hydrocephalus and relieve elevated intracranial pressure when the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inside the brain is obstructed.

External ventricular drains (EVDs) are com-monly placed to monitor intracranial pressure and manage acute hydrocephalus in patients with a variety of intracra-nial pathologies.

The optimal management of external ventricular drains (EVD) in the setting of acute brain injury remains controversial. Therefore, we sought to determine whether there are optimal management approaches based on the current evidence.

2021年1月13日 · Placement of an external ventricular drain (EVD) allows cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to drain from the ventricles to an external collecting system.
