Comparing augmented reality-assisted and freehand external ventricular drain placement: a multicenter randomized controlled crossover phantom study
AR improves the accuracy of EVD placement compared to the freehand technique, which is expected to improve the efficacy in clinical settings. It increases total procedural time but remains within clinically acceptable limits and provides favorable usability.
