Apollo Multispecialty Hospitals provides specialised External Ventricular Drainage with a focus on controlled cerebrospinal fluid drainage, accurate intracranial pressure management, advanced neurosurgical technology, and individualized critical care. Established in 2003, the JCI, ISO accredited hospital is located in Kolkata, India and operates 700 beds, with modern neurosurgical, neuroimaging, intensive-care, and monitoring infrastructure.

External Ventricular Drainage can provide temporary relief from elevated intracranial pressure and facilitate CSF diversion in patients with acute hydrocephalus or other neurological conditions affecting cerebrospinal fluid circulation. Treatment planning considers the underlying cause, ventricular anatomy, intracranial pressure, neurological status, imaging findings, and overall clinical condition. A detailed assessment helps the neurosurgical team determine the appropriate catheter placement, drainage strategy, monitoring requirements, and timing for weaning or removal of the ventricular drain.
