Which reminds me of the other thing to pay attention to. If you are siphoning, lying down will help. If you don't have an antisiphon device, you may need one. And there are people who may need something more but valves in series which my child likes are probably not comfy for a lot of people, i.e. ymmv. So when the codman plus asd stopped being enough, we couldn't find a good setting (we tried many settings). Generally when the system is good one, we've seen the classic over draining symptoms and raising the setting was enough for a while. Over draining eventually returns and we go up again, wash rinse repeat. My kid has had slit ventricles for years (except in May - her ventricles were not slit on an MRI, were small again two weeks later, that was just weird) and she has always had low compliance. Slit ventricles don't really happen with people shunted in adulthood. Last edited by pogo; 06-28-2015 at 12:39 AM. Reason: Adding more... |
