Introduction of a Best Practice for Ventriculostomy Management in the Neuroscience Critical Care Unit
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Ventriculostomy associated infections are a present burden on our healthcare system as well as patients and their families. Use of nursing led protocols to decrease the incidence of healthcare-associated protocols has been supported in previous platforms. The purpose of this …

Evaluation of external ventricular drain complications and the use of a procedure-targeted image-guidance system
Access to the cerebral ventricle (e.g. ventriculostomy) is required to manage multiple life-threatening ailments. It can be done either in the operating room or at the bedside to relieve increased intracranial pressure or deliver medication. At the bedside, the procedure is normally performed …

Use of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) In Treatment of Pediatric Obstructive Hydrocephalus; A Multi-Level Retrospective Analysis of the United States Pediatric Population.
<p>Background: Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) is well established as an alternative to cerebrospinal fluid shunting in the treatment of children with obstructive hydrocephalus, due to various etiologies producing obstruction of CSF fluid flow in the region of the cerebral aqueduct. Clinical …

Entry-based Planning of Neurosurgical Trajectories
… intersection with the ventricles during the ventriculostomy procedure, while also allowing for pre-calculated uncertainties in the trajectory. Methods Using preoperative head CT scans, we estimated entry sites on the skull surface giving surgeons the best chance of reaching the ventricles, …

TRPV4 in the Choroid Plexus Epithelium: Pathway Analysis and Implications for Cerebrospinal Fluid Production
… the introduction of shunts or endoscopic third ventriculostomy, both of which aim to redirect flow of CSF in to another cavity for absorption. Limited pharmacotherapies are available in the treatment of hydrocephalus, and there exists a clinical need for drug therapies, which can ameliorate the …
