Summary

Neurosurgical patients are more vulnerable to infections related to medical care due to their requirement for surgically inserted devices like ventriculostomies and their extended hospital stays. Introduction of a foreign device can result in infection due to insertion technique as well as postinsertion management. Establishing protocols of ventriculostomy drain management tools to raise nurse awareness and adherence to the most recent standards of care may greatly lower the risk of health care-associated infection in the neurosurgical population.

Based on the high demand on information and technological resources, nurses must be qualified to ensure patient safety and make more assertive decisions. For this reason, it is imperative that these nurses possess the necessary knowledge and abilities to provide assistance. The purpose of training has evolved to encompass professional development, acquiring knowledge, and the teaching and practicing of new skills
