About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if EVD placement using augmented reality is non inferior to image-guidance systems for assistance in adult patients needing an EVD for spontaneous ICH with IVH or severe TBI. The main question it aims to answer is:
Can EVDs be placed successfully with at least equal safety and efficacy using augmented reality devices in comparison to using standard image-guidance techniques?
