Summary
This study tested whether using a special image-guidance system (AxiEM Stealth) helps doctors place a drain into the brain's fluid-filled spaces more accurately than the usual freehand method. The drain, called an external ventricular drain (EVD), is often needed urgently for patients with serious brain conditions. The study aimed to see if the technology reduces the number of attempts needed and lowers the risk of complications like bleeding.
