I am comparison shopping and need input.  I'd like to hear from folks about what their opinions are in terms of quality, and logistics of taking and/or running the ATCN vs. TNCC.  Thanks for any info you can provide.

I have 2 questions for the group.
    1. If you patients with these devices (ICP/ventricular drains) in place and they are clinically stable, on what units can they be             admitted to. ICU only, Or do you also send them to ICU stepdown or regular units.??
    2. Does anyone have any policy or references to share that address the standard for the length of time these devices should be         left in place??
 
I appreciate your assistance.
