A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a medical device that relieves pressure on the brain caused by fluid accumulation. There are two types of VP shunts - programmable and non-programmable. In a non-programmable shunt, valves are programmed to activate when the fluid reaches a certain volume. In a programmable shunt, there is an external and adjustable valve that the doctor can readjust at any time according to the person’s needs. The total recovery takes 2 to 3 weeks. • Start with liquids and move on to solid foods. • Keep the incision site clean and check for signs of infection every day. • Doctor will let you know when to start showering again. • Traveling is allowed after 4 weeks or so. Always carry your Patient Identification Card, provided by the neurosurgeon, with you at all times. • • Avoid strenuous activities that involve physical blows to the head for approximately 6 weeks. • Doctor will advise when to resume normal daily activities and go back to work, which is usually after 7 weeks. • VP shunts can be replaced anytime between six years to eight years of time. • Driving: Wait for at least 6 months or can be longer if you have high-pressure headaches. • Avoid bringing smartphones, toys, audio headphones, loudspeakers, shaver, hairdryer, and clipper too close to the valve site. • For treatment assistance in your country or abroad: • Email: [email protected] • Phone/WhatsApp/Viber: +91-9650001746 • Website: www.vaidam.com • Vaidam is an ISO and NABH accredited medical assistance company.
