Clinical trials: Shunt Malfunction
Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts
Bedside Ultrasound to Measure Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Pediatric CSF Shunts
Bedside ultrasound in the emergency department is useful for quick assessments of patients. One growing use is to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter of patients for whom increased pressure in the head is a concern.
