Presentation Outline: - Why do we need a better EVD? - What is IRRAflow, and how does it work? - How he uses IRRAflow in the ICU? - What are some outcomes that you can expect with IRRAflow? Case Reviews: - cSDH treated with IRRAflow - IVH treated with EVD - IVH treated with IRRAflow and tPA - IVH with IPH treated with IRRAflow and tPA - IVH treated with IRRAflow and tPA with endoscopic photos - Abscess treated with IRRAflow with antibiotic

Video: Published Case Review: Continuous Antibiotic Admin. Using IRRAflow for Intracranial Abscess
Intracranial abscesses are rare lesions with an incidence estimated at 1500-2500 cases per year in the United States. Widespread use of neuroimaging has led to rapid diagnosis, decreasing the mortality rate from 40-50% to approximately 20. Treatment options include systemic antibiotic therapy, needle aspiration through a burr hole, and open craniotomy for excision. The recently introduced IRRAflow self-irrigating catheter system has been used to treat subdural hematomas and intraventricular hemorrhages although research into other applications for this technology is still ongoing. Dr. Ryan Hess, neurosurgeon form Buffalo General Hospital presents a case review of an intracranial abscess treated via open craniotomy and IRRAflow placement allowing for continuous irrigation and drainage of the abscess.

Video: Published Case Review: DRIFT for Adult IVH Using IRRAflow Self-Irrigating Catheter
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a devastating neurosurgical condition associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. It can occur as the result of several pathologies and typically presents with mental status changes, neurologic deficits, seizures, headaches, and decreased Glasgow Coma Scale score. These patients are often treated with placement of an external ventricular drain, which helps decrease the clot burden; however, they commonly clot off leading to multiple exchanges. Dr. Ryan Hess, neurosurgeon form Buffalo General Hospital presents a case review in which drainage, irrigation, and fibrinolytic (DRIFT) therapy using IRRAflow® (IRRAS) irrigating catheter was used to treat a patient with severe IVH secondary to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
