The six aspects were reviewed: the type of EVD catheters, the duration of EVD retention, the frequency of cerebrospinal fluid sampling during the retention, the frequency of VED catheter replacements, the location of EVD implantation, and the maintenance operation of EVD catheters. The article provided data support for the clinical decision-making of medical staff.
