First Results of a New Electromechanical Controlled External Ventricular Drainage in a Porcine Model.

چکیده
Acute increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) usually has to be treated with an external ventricular drainage (EVD). Current standard mechanical EVD carry a lot of disadvantages, which hypothetically could be better managed by a newly developed electromechanical EVD. In this report our first preliminary results of such an electromechanical EVD applied in a porcine animal model are presented. The drainage was demonstrated to be both successful in monitoring and controlling elevated ICP, and able to detect slit ventricles due to overdrainage, if the indented target ICP was set too low.

Two-dimensional Axisymmetric Electromechanical Response of Piezoelectric, Functionally Graded and Layered Composite Cylinders
A mixed semi-analytical cum numerical approach is presented in this paper which accounts for the coupled mechanical and electrical response of piezoelectric, functionally graded (FG) and layered composite hollow circular cylinders of finite length. Under axisymmetric mechanical and electrical loadings, the three-dimensional problem (3D) gets reduced to a two-dimensional (2D) plane strain proble...
