Abstract
Documented ventriculostomy-related infections as high as 27% demand close inspection and meticulous nursing care in order to prevent further neurological dysfunction for those patients requiring this type of monitoring system. Nurses can play a vital role in the recovery of a neurologically impaired patient who has a ventriculostomy in place. The overall nursing care, risk factors, as well as trouble shooting techniques are presented.Keywords
