Effective Risk Management for Cerebral Perfusion Complications in Pediatric Hydrocephalus Patients

Abstract

Hydrocephalus is a condition where cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain ventricles due to impaired absorption or obstructions. The Ventriculo Peritoneal Shunt treatment is used to treat this condition, but the main nursing concern is ineffective cerebral perfusion. A case study on a baby with acute hydrocephalus showed that risk management involves identifying causes, monitoring symptoms, and collaborating with drugs. Implementation of the shunt resulted in normal blood pressure and arterial pressure values.
