New ultrasound method aims to make brain drain placement safer
NCT ID NCT06253858
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide placement of a brain drain (external ventricular drain) in adults with hydrocephalus can improve accuracy and reduce the number of needle passes needed. Ten participants will have the drain placed with the SOLOPASS® ultrasound system, and researchers will measure how many attempts are needed and check placement on post-procedure scans. The goal is to see if this approach lowers risks like incorrect placement or drain malfunction.
