Abstract

External ventricular drainage is frequently performed in operating rooms by a neurosurgeon to relieve acute hydrocephalus and improve the patient’s clinical status in intensive care units. The management of patients undergoing this drainage device is complex: nurses must have the knowledge to provide safe and effective care and ensure the ability to perform a response to complications. The purpose of this document is to describe the knowledge necessary.
