Abstract

Background

Programmable differential pressure (DP) valves combined with an anti-siphon device (ASD) represent the current standard of care in preemtping overdrainage associated with ventriculoperitoneal shunting for hydrocephalus.

Objective

We aimed to provide comparative data of four combinations of two ASDs of different working principles in combination with two DP valves in an in vitro model in order to achieve a better understanding of the flow characteristics and potential clinical application.

Methods

We analyzed the flow performance of four possible combinations of two DP valves (CHPV [HM]; proGAV 2.0[PG]) in combination with either a gravity-regulated (Shuntassistant [SA]) or a flow-regulated (SiphonGuard [SG]) ASD in an in vitro setup. A DP between 4 and 60 cmH2O was generated, and the specific flow characteristics were measured. In addition, the two combinations with gravity-regulated ASDs were measured in defined spatial positions.

Results

Flow characteristics of the SA combinations corresponded to the DP in linear fashion and to the spatial position. Flow characteristics of the SG combinations were dependent upon the DP in a non-linear fashion and independent of the spatial position. Highest mean flow rate of the PG-SG- (HM-SG-) combination was 1.41 ± 0.24 ml/min (1.16 ± 0.06 ml/min). The mean flow rates sharply decreased with increasing inflow pressure and subsequently increased slowly up to 0.82 ± 0.26 ml/min (0.77 ± 0.08 ml/min).

Conclusion

All tested device combinations were able to control hydrostatic effect and prevent consecutive excessive flow, to varying degrees. However, significant differences in flow characteristics can be seen, which might be relevant for their clinical application.

Schlaganfall oder Schlaganfall-Imitator?

Ein breites Spektrum von Erkrankungen kann einen Schlaganfall vortäuschen. Bei der notwendigen schnellen Unterscheidung zwischen solchen „stroke mimics“ und echten Schlaganfällen können einige klinische Faktoren und Symptome unterstützend herangezogen werden. 

Ein pulverisierter Plastiklöffel im Gehirn

Das menschliche Gehirn besteht zu etwa 0,5% aus Nanoplastik – Tendenz weiter steigend. Nach Resultaten eine Autopsiestudie reichert sich Plastik im Gehirn 10- bis 30-fach stärker an als in anderen Organen – mit bislang noch völlig unklaren Folgen.

Schlaganfall durch wandernde A. carotis interna

Die Thrombolyse nützte nichts, vielmehr war eine Teilresektion des Zungenbeins nötig: Es hatte eine verlagerte Carotis interna komprimiert und so bei einem älteren Mann einen Schlaganfall ausgelöst. Per Bildgebung lässt sich eine solche Ursache manchmal nur schwer nachweisen.

Epileptischer Anfall nach Darmreinigung

Die Darmreinigung vor einer Koloskopie führte einen älteren Mann auf die Intensivstation: Seine Natriumwerte waren durch die Prozedur so gesunken, dass er Bewusstseinstrübungen und Krampfanfälle entwickelte.
