Choosing VPS Lakeshore Hospital for External Ventricular Drainage gives patients access to experienced neurosurgeons, advanced neuroimaging, specialized intensive-care facilities, intracranial pressure monitoring, and structured postoperative management. Established in 2003, the NABH, ISO accredited hospital in Kochi, India has 350 beds and provides specialised neurosurgical and neurocritical care services.
External Ventricular Drainage is typically performed under sterile conditions with appropriate anaesthesia or sedation depending on the patient's clinical status. A catheter is inserted into a selected cerebral ventricle and connected to an external collection system that allows controlled CSF drainage. Patients require close monitoring because complications may include infection, bleeding, catheter blockage, excessive drainage, or changes in intracranial pressure. The drain is generally removed once it is no longer clinically required and adequate CSF circulation has been established.

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.
