Overview
Brief Summary
This study is intended to evaluate the feasibility of using VisAR augmented reality surgical navigation during placement of an external ventricular drain (EVD). The investigators are interested in confirming the design of the VisAR headset is compatible with this bedside procedure.
Detailed Description
A secondary objective of this study is to compare the accuracy of freehand EVD navigation, the current standard of care, with VisAR augmented reality surgical navigation. The intent is to demonstrate the advantages to the patient by the use/application of this next generation navigation technology.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Adult patients, 18 years and older, determined to need an external ventricular drain (EVD) or ventriculostomy catheter by the attending neurosurgeon secondary to a variety of pathologies, including obstructive hydrocephalus, trauma and subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients less than 18 years of age.
- •Pregnant women.
- •Prisoners.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Determining navigation system accuracy based on anatomical location and Kakarla scoring system.
Time Frame: During surgery
The accuracy of VisAR in placement of EVDs primary assessment will be graded based on the anatomical location of the EVD, known as the Kakarla scoring system. The Kakarla scoring system has 3 grades of accuracy of placement based on the location of the catheter tip.
