See full text

A cerebral catheterization apparatus for delivering oxygenated nutrient to or from the cerebro-spinal fluid pathway of a patient suspected of suffering from ischemic central nervous system tissue is disclosed. The apparatus comprises catheter means for providing a delivery pathway for an oxygenated nutrient to the lateral ventricle of the brain, which delivery pathway comprises an inlet and outlet; guide means, mating with the catheter means, for directing the catheter means toward the lateral ventricle; and a harness, on which the guide means is mounted, which is positionable with respect to the patient's head such that the catheter means may be reliably inserted into the lateral ventricle.
