INSERTION OF CAMINO CATHETER
• To measure intracranial pressure, insert the
Camino Catheter into the Camino Bolt, using
the cm markings on the catheter to gauge
insertion depth (Figure 4). If the surgeon
places his fingers at the 5 cm mark (double
dot), then inserts the catheter until his fingers
touch the top of the bolt, the tip of the
catheter will be 0.5 cm beyond the end of the
bolt, approximately in the subarachnoid
space. He should pull the catheter back
slightly, then turn the compression cap on
the Camino Bolt clockwise to secure the
catheter in place. If using a bedside monitor
and/or Camino monitor, verify pressure
waveform.
If

Catheter, and retighten the compression

• While holding the catheter from above, slide
the strain relief sheath down and secure it
onto the compression cap.
