AB  - CHAPTER  SUMMARYThe  preparation  for  placement  of  external  ventricular  drains  and  lumbar  drains  is  the  same  as  the  preparation  for  any  other  surgical  procedure.  An  initial  patient  assessment  is  performed.  The  medical  history  and  imaging  of  the  patient  are  reviewed.  Antithrombotic  medication  is  reversed,  and  coagulopathy  is  managed.  Then,  the  equipment  is  procured  and  prepared.  Finally,  the  patient  is  positioned  and  prepped  for  surgery.
