Résumé
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) often requires the insertion of an external ventricular drain (EVD), but blood clots could occlude the catheters. Large EVD catheters may help to reduce the risk of catheter occlusion. Here, we compared small catheters with large catheters for ventriculostomy in patients suffering from IVH.
