  1. Removing an EVD

    jrhic posted a topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU
    Hello everyone! I am hoping to seek guidance regarding what other hospitals do when removing an External Ventricular Drain catheter. In most of the resources I have Googled and searched, it is always alluded to that an MD removes the drain either in OR or at Bedside, or an advanced pracitioner such as an NP or PA does so. Try as I might, I cannot seem to find any literature or resource that states a Registered Nurse may remove the drain. I have also been trying to search Board of Nursing sites, but nothing definative has appeared. What is the practice in other Neruoscience ICUs out there? How do you all remove EVDs in your facilities? If possible, please send me links to whatever resources you have regarding this topic Please let me know! I would love to understand how best to approach this topic
