    Objective: Intracranial hypertension (IN) develops in approximately 50% of all patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Therefore, it is very important to identify a suitable animal model to study and understand the pathophysiology of refractory IH to develop effective treatments. Methods: We describe a new experimental porcine model designed to simulate expansive brain hematoma causing IH. Under anesthesia, was simulated with a balloon insufflation. The IH variables were measured with intracranial pressure (ICP) parenchymal monitoring, epidural, cerebral oximetry, and transcranial Doppler (TCD). Results: None of the animals died during the experiment. The ICP epidural showed a slower rise compared with parenchymal ICP. We found a correlation between ICP and cerebral oximetry. Conclusion: The model described here seems useful to understand some of the pathophysiological characteristics of acute IH.

    Monoblock external ventricular drainage system in the treatment of patients with acute hydrocephalus: A pilot study
    (2014) ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira de; PAIVA, Wellingson Silva; NEVILLE, Iuri Santana; NOLETO, Gustavo Sousa; ALVES JUNIOR, Aderaldo; SANDON, Luiz Henrique Dias; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; AMORIM, Robson Luis; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen
    Background: Infection is a major complication in patients undergoing external ventricular drainage (EVD). Our study aimed to evaluate the incidence of infection in a series with the monoblock EVD system. Material/Methods: 46 patients treated with EVD at our emergency department were analyzed prospectively to research the incidence of infections with a new EVD system. Results: The average rate of infection was 8.7%. When we stratified the patients according to the exclusive use of EVD without craniotomies, we identified a reduction in the overall incidence of ventriculitis from 8.7% to 2.3%. Age, etiology, and the presence of ventricular bleeding were not statistically significant risk factors. Conclusions: Despite the small sample examined in this study, we believe that the monoblock system is a simple, inexpensive device that reduces accidental disconnection of the system.
