What is the chamber shortcut?

Ventricular short circuit is a surgery in which the tube is inserted into the brain chambers. This tube is used to drain excess fluid from the brain and relieve pressure inside the skull, usually as an attempt to prevent damage or arrest of the brain. The tube is stretched, although the body to a place where excess fluid can safely drain, such as urea. Although it is an invasive surgery, the success for the chamber short circuit is high.

In adult patients, the chamber is often a one -off operation, but in children it may be necessary to make changes or revision into a short circuit throughout the child's life. Many clusters are placed in childhood, which requires repeated operations because the child grows to extend the drainage tube. Each of these separate operations comes with its own set of risks, many of which are dependent on each patient. Shunts can also be removed, but this is very rare, and this has a great potential to give a patient in danger. Some patients can reach a pointwhen they no longer need a previously located short circuit, but in most cases the short circuit is not removed.

There are a number of conditions that can cause fluid accumulation in the brain, which would create a short circuit. The medical term for this accumulation of fluids is hydrocephalus, which means "water in the brain". Sometimes it happens because of genetic abnormality, but it's relatively rare. Congenital defects, such as bifida spina, can also cause fluid accumulation. More often, the accumulation of fluids occurs due to the brain damage that causes the right drainage canals for cerebrospinal lighting fluid.

Complications may occur after the location of the chamber short circuit, from relatively mild to quite serious. Infections may occur in the brain after placing a short circuit, but they can often be properly cured by antibiotics. Blocking the shunt tube is also an important option, either in the brain or at the moment of drainagee. The most serious complication is excessive outflow, resulting in the fluid of the brain too fast, leading to the collapse of the chamber. If any of these complications occur, rapid treatment is necessary to prevent further neurological damage or death.

When inserting and monitoring properly, the chamber shortcuts can prevent cases of severe brain damage and allow recipients to live a normal life. Patients are sometimes left with small tics or mild seizures due to a short circuit, but these persistent effects are not common. As with any foreign object that is permanently placed in the body, there is always a chance of unforeseen complications later in life, but the bends themselves are not dangerous by their very nature.
