Shunt Adjustment at Alan Riggins blog

Shunt Adjustment. While many patients do benefit from medium pressure adjustments, some might need ultralow pressure setting to experience. The purpose of vp shunt surgery is to divert an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) from the cerebral ventricles to the abdominal. A shunt is a thin tube. All treatments aim to reduce pressure within the head, either by diverting csf flow from the brain or by restoring normal flow. The goal of this study is to provide a clinical pathway for shunt valve adjustment in the treatment of normal pressure hydrocephalus. Medtronic shunts can remove cerebrospinal fluid (csf) if necessary, to treat normal pressure hydrocephalus (nph). Other patients with hydrocephalus have a very narrow therapeutic window between symptomatic overdrainage and symptomatic underdrainage. Patients with nph often require multiple adjustments of opening pressure to optimize cognitive function and gait stability, while avoiding overdrainage and the secondary subdural effusion. To allow rotation of the shunt, a downward force of 800 to 1600 gram force is applied using the progav adjustment tool, and.
