At Max Super Specialty Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, External Ventricular Drainage is performed using specialised neurosurgical techniques and comprehensive neurological and imaging assessment. Established in 2011, this NABH, NABL accredited hospital in Delhi, India has 402 beds and offers advanced neurocritical care and neurosurgical services.

External Ventricular Drainage may be considered when excess cerebrospinal fluid needs to be temporarily diverted or intracranial pressure requires close monitoring. During the procedure, a catheter is carefully placed into one of the brain's ventricles through a small opening in the skull and connected to a sterile external drainage system. Brain imaging, neurological assessment, and intracranial pressure monitoring may be used to guide treatment and evaluate the patient's response.
