Brief Summary
External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is a common neurosurgical procedure and provides a way to monitor intracranial pressure. EVDs are utilized in the management of a wide array of neurosurgical indications, such as subarachnoid hemorrhage, trauma, intraventricular hemorrhage, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, and hydrocephalus.
