A set of precordial electrodes are pre-attached along a single electrical cord where the electrodes can adjust in separation distances to accommodate different sizes of patients without cord looping or tangling. The invention employs cord corrals that permit a distance between adjacent electrodes to be shortened or lengthened while organizing excess cord. By allowing the adjacent electrode connectors to be shortened or lengthened, the lead array of electrode connectors may be used on a variety of different patient demographics and body sizes. While the single electrical cord eliminates the need for individual attachment of each of the lead wires of each of the electrodes to the ECG monitor.

The present invention operates to significantly reduce over or under drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain or spinal cord using an extraventricular drain (EVD) in the brain or lumbar drainage device (LDD) and automated intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring. The present invention attaches the drainage catheter of the EVD to a flow controller or valve which controls the flow of CSF from the drainage catheter and is electronically controlled by a stepper motor communicating with a pressure transducer receiving pressure signals indicating an ICP without the need for constant manual re-leveling.
