External Ventricular Drainage and Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

This video is intended to serve as an introduction to external ventricular drainage, and the indications and strategies for intracranial pressure monitoring and interpretation of intracranial pressure waveforms. We will also touch on relationship between intracranial pressure and autoregulation, and discuss the complication of external ventricular drainage and an approach to weaning. The topic is for geared towards advanced medical students (sub-interns) and junior residents.

Thank you for another masterpiece video.
But I have one small question. I am unsure how the practice differs between my country and the US, but a flow diverter (FD) is not a good choice for ruptured aneurysms because it takes a long time for FD to completely occlude the aneurysm. In my center, they prefer clipping or coiling for the ruptured aneurysm, FD only for the unruptured one.

[@theneurophile]

We are working on a management of subarachnoid hemorrhage video where we will review the pros and cons of all the treatments. Stay tuned.

[@qwertypo7196]

Can i get advice about a patient.
Please reply

This channel is meant for educational purposes. Consulting on patients over the internet presents ethical and medico-legal challenges, so it is best that you refer any challenging cases to the nearest large academic center.

В какой программе вы делаете, презентации?

[@theneurophile]

The slideshow is in PowerPoint. I usually use Adobe Audition to record voice over and I put everything together in Adobe Premiere Pro.

​@@theneurophile сколько занимает у вас по времени, подготовка одной презентации?

[@theneurophile]

@alexty6215 The research takes about a month. The actual production about a week.
