External Ventricular Drainage (EVD) is a medical procedure used to relieve intracranial pressure and drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain's ventricles. During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into the ventricles through a small hole in the skull. The excess fluid is drained into a collection bag, helping to reduce pressure and prevent further complications.
EVD is commonly used to treat conditions such as hydrocephalus, traumatic brain injury, and intracranial hemorrhage.
The recovery process after EVD involves close monitoring of intracranial pressure and neurological status. The drainage may continue until the pressure stabilizes, and the catheter is removed once the underlying condition is treated. Patients are observed for potential complications and may require physical therapy or rehabilitation, depending on their specific medical condition. Overall the recovery may take 3-4 weeks.
