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.
