Challenges in EVD Weaning Strategies
This chapter explores the complexities of evaluating delayed cerebral ischemia and vasospasm while assessing external ventricular drain weaning strategies in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. It highlights the challenges of insufficient data, variances in patient populations, and the potential impact of a rapid weaning approach on patient outcomes and shunt rates. The discussion emphasizes the need for future collaborative trials to better understand these dynamics and improve treatment practices in ICU settings.
