    EVD Post Procedure NoteEdit

    The patient's family provided consent for the procedure. The procedure was carried out in the ICU under sterile conditions. A timeout was performed with the ICU staff identifying correct patient and sites. The skin was prepped with chlorhexidine. On the R the site of interest was covered with the fenestrated drape, Kocher's point marked, and the site anesthetized using 2% Lidocaine with epinephrine until a weal was raised. A linear incision was made down to bone. The pericranium was stripped using the blunt end of the instrument. Hemostasis was achieved with the self-retaining retractor. Kocher's point was remeasured before drilling then a burr hole was created.  Residual bone particles were removed. The dura was incised in a cruciate fashion. An antibiotic-impregnated EVD was passed 6.5 cm into the brain with return of clear CSF. Opening pressure >20 cm H2O. The drain was secured at the skin with a 2-0 silk suture and incision was closed with a running 3-0 nylon suture.

    Lumbar Drain Procedure NoteEdit

    A lumbar drain was inserted at the bedside with full sterile prep and drape, full gown and sterile gloves were used. One attempt at L4/5. Catheter was passed to 3 dots at the skin. Brisk CSF outflow was confirmed at each step of the procedure and at the end in the Buretrol. A releasing loop was secured at the skin with 3-0 nylon sutures and staples. A buddy stitch was placed.
