Multimodal Simulation of a Novel Device for a Safe and Effective External Ventricular Drain Placement

Multimodal Simulation of a Novel Device for a Safe and Effective External Ventricular Drain Placement

BackgroundExternal ventricular drain (EVD) placement is mandatory for several pathologies. The misplacement rate of the EVD varies widely in literature, ranging from 12.3 to 60%. The purpose of this simulation study is to provide preliminary data about the possibility of increasing the safety of one...
