Аннотация
BACKGROUND: A novel flow-regulated external drain (FRED) was devised to overcome the problems of the pressure-regulated systems and serial lumbar taps.
METHODS: Eleven patients who underwent lumbar external drainage received a flow-regulated system using simple and inexpensive materials available in most hospital settings.
RESULTS: The system proved to be reliable at removing a set amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We did not encounter any serious complications in its application.
CONCLUSIONS: The FRED system offered better patient compliance and comfort, providing them with greater mobility, while maintaining a safer steady removal of a set amount of CSF. In opposition to the pressure-regulated systems, we describe the possible indications, advantages and disadvantages of a flow regulated device. Extensive clinical trials are needed to study the use of FRED in patients with different CSF circulation physiology, pressure and composition.
