Ventricular drains can generally be cared for by controlling the height of the drain, keeping the drain open, and paying attention to the color and amount of drainage fluid. 1. Control the height of drainage: the height of the cerebrospinal fluid column in the drainage tube during ventricular drainage reflects the intracranial pressure, which can be neither high nor low. Therefore, the drainage tube should be placed correctly in the nursing process to maintain normal intracranial pressure and avoid excessive drainage or too little drainage. 2. Maintain smooth drainage: avoid pressure, twisting, angulation and folding of the drainage tube during the nursing process, and notify the doctor in time if the drainage tube is blocked. 3. Pay attention to the color and amount of drainage fluid: normal cerebrospinal fluid should be colorless, transparent and without precipitation; if a large amount of bloody cerebrospinal fluid occurs during drainage, it indicates that there is hemorrhage in the ventricles of the brain, and if the cerebrospinal fluid becomes turbid and too dark in color, it indicates that infection occurs. During the recovery period, patients should maintain a good mood, and at the same time, patients should actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment. Effective and correct nursing care is the key to preventing complications and promoting recovery.
