Thermal and Postural Effects on Fluid Mixing and Irrigation Patterns for Intraventricular Hemorrhage Treatment

Résumé

Intraventricular hemorrhage is characterized by blood leaking into the cerebral ventricles and mixing with cerebrospinal fluid. A standard treatment method involves inserting a passive drainage catheter, known as an external ventricular drain (EVD), into the ventricle. EVDs have common adverse complications, including the occlusion of the catheter, that may lead to permanent neural damage or even mortality. In order to prevent such complications, a novel dual-lumen catheter (IRRAflow®) utilizing an active fluid exchange mechanism has been recently developed. However, the fluid dynamics of the exchange system have not been investigated. In this study, convective flow in a three-dimensional cerebral lateral ventricle with an inserted catheter is evaluated using an in-house lattice-Boltzmann-based fluid–solid interaction solver. Different treatment conditions are simulated, including injection temperature and patient position. Thermal and gravitational effects on medication distribution are studied using a dye simulator based on a recently-introduced (pseudo)spectral convection–diffusion equation solver. The effects of injection temperature and patient position on catheter performance are presented and discussed in terms of hematoma irrigation, vortical structures, mixing, and medication volume distribution. Results suggest that cold-temperature injections can increase catheter efficacy in terms of dye distribution and irrigation potential, both of which can be further guided by patient positioning.
