Cover Story: Subarachnoid, intraparenchymal, intraventricular hemorrhage (SAH, IH, IVH) and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are the common conditions requiring external ventricular drainage (EVD), which both represents life-saving treatment and controls intracranial pressure in any complicated acute brain injury with clinical manifestations. EVD can be continuous, as recommended by the principal international guidelines; or intermittent, i.e., less frequent and complicated by a clogged catheter and hemorrhage. EVD misplacement leads to brain edema and midline shift, and external lumbar drainage (ELD) could be the “extrema ratio” for refractory intracranial hypertension. Further, EVD weaning is crucial, and it can be rapid or gradual without differences in terms of ventricular–peritoneal shunting dependency. View this paper
