Complications related to an EVD include infection, meningitis, and tentorial herniation as a result of imbalance in CSF drainage (Pope, 1998). In preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhage requiring CSF drainage, a ventricular access drain may be temporarily inserted (Hudgins, Boydston, and Gilbreatg, 1998); this system is similar to the EVD but has an access port for frequent tabs and can be used to administer antibiotics and thrombolytic agents such as urokinase.
