In Vitro Colonisation of Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts
European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1983A reliable method of colonizing cerebrospinal fluid shunts has been developed in vitro. A simulated cerebrospinal fluid is described in which the test organism (Staphylococcus epidermidis) multiplied. All experiments were conducted in a CO2 enriched atmosphere.

Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections.
Journal of neurosurgical sciences, 1994 Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infection is one of the most frequent and disabling complications. We reviewed the records of 306 patients who underwent CSF shunt surgery from 1983 through 1992. Six hundred and twelve procedures were performed in these 306 patients.

Placement and revision of ventricular shunts has saved more lives in Western society than any other neurosurgical procedure. Estimates of a total of 75,000 shunt procedures are done yearly in North America. The majority of these cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-diverting shunts originate in the lateral ventricle, drain into the peritoneum and are described as

Quantitation of Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunt Flow
Radiology, 1974A new method for quantitatively measuring flow through CSF diversionary shunts is described. Shunt reservoirs were injected with 0.05 ml 99mTcO4− and the clearance, λ, determined. The distribution volume of every known shunt reservoir was ascertained experimentally. CSF flow, F, was determined using the relationship F=λV.

Artificial Shunting of Cerebrospinal Fluid
The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 1994 A compact three-stage shunt valve system (Orbis Sigma™ Valve) which operates as a flow regulator within certain differential pressure values has been clinically evaluated in the treatment of hydrocephalus. Clinical trials were performed in 134 cases, covering 128 patients aged from 1 day to 79 years with a mean age at implantation of 11.4 years.

Biofilm-related infections of cerebrospinal fluid shunts
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2006 Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts carry a high risk of complications. Infections represent a major cause of shunt failure. Diagnosis and therapy of such infections are complicated by the formation of bacterial biofilms attached to shunt surfaces.

Complications of cerebrospinal fluid shunts
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1983In the period 1972–81, 572 hydrocephalic children were treated using the Upadhyaya shunt valve, One hundred and seventys-even of these patients needed a total of 350 shunt revisions. Indications for revisions were; shunt blockage 245 (70% of total revisions) shunt infections 40 (11.5%) catheter disconnections/fractures 19 (5.5%) and intvacranial ...

Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections in children
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2022Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts are commonly used for the long-term management of hydrocephalus in children. Shunt infection remains a common complication, occurring in about 5%–15% of CSF shunts. This narrative review summarises key evidence from recent literature on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management ...

Epidemiology of Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunting
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2008The epidemiology of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting in the United States is not well known; however, with recent national surveys, the prevalence, incidence, and cost of these procedures can be estimated. The prevalence of CSF shunts in the United States appears to be greater than 125,000, though this is likely an underestimate of the true value ...
