Summary

This completed registry followed 120 patients who received an Integra external ventricular drainage (EVD) system to drain excess fluid from the brain. The goal was to check how well the device performed and how safe it was in real-world use. Researchers measured whether the drainage matched what doctors expected and whether the access kit worked properly.
