I work for a group of anesthesiologists who run a neurointensivist unit primarily rendering ICU level care and critical care. I am at an impasse regarding the EVD's. To summarize, the group wants critical care for the presence of EVD. I disagree and feel it would be the intervention, idication of care an manageent of the EVD, ie opening, restricting, clamp trials, day of insertion, day of removal, changing out to a shunt due to it not functioning properly. Is there any advice, literature and or information available that would help support the medical justificaiton of critical care for the the presence and/or management of EVD quantifying critical care.
I GRATELY appreciate any assistance.
