Post-insertion

Other methods for ICP monitoring include Camino ICP monitors, which are positioned into the brain parenchyma, but do not transverse the hemisphere nearly to the degree that EVDs do, and are associated with a lower risk of intracerebral hemorrhage. The ICP is measured by a fiberoptic transducer at the tip of the cathe-ter. ° ICP monitors, however, are subject to inaccuracy over time, so-called drift, and thus may become less reliable after the first few days post-insertion. Epidural and subarachnoid bolts/catheters are the least invasive, placed external to or just within the dura, thereby carrying a much lower risk of hemorrhage and infection, but with unfortunately compromised accuracy.

To design WPC soundwalls capable of holding against a more intense wind (see Table 7.51), wood, steel, and aluminum post inserts were tested. Results of some of these tests are shown in Table 7.52.

Post-insertion phlebitis occurs within 72 h of insertion and is manifested by pain along the course of the vein. Warmth and redness may also be present. This occurs in between 0% and 13% of peripheral device insertions (Sandhu 1998a Foley 1995). Warm soaks applied to the area and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication help reheve the symptoms. The phlebitis is thought to be due to mechanical irritation of...
