Evaluation of a Novel, Bedside, Ultrasonographic Neuronavigation System Versus Free-Hand Ventricular Targeting: A Double-Blinded, Prospective, Paired Comparison Study
In this blinded laboratory study, ultrasound-navigated placement of simulated EVD stylets was significantly more accurate than conventional free-hand placement, regardless of the participant's level of neurosurgical training.
