Shunts certainly can be taken out, as they may need to be replaced, especially during childhood, due to the growth of the child, and in some cases, need to be replaced because of shunt malfunction or infection. But they are usually required for the entire life of a person who has hydrocephalus, from the time they get their first shunt. With some people this is soon after birth, and with some it may occur later, but from that point on, it will be a permanent requirement.

Where does one find a shunt at India?
Surgical shunts are available in India, but only at medical facilities, and only when they are required for the patient. It is not possible to obtain shunts commercially.
How are shunts used in welders?
Shunts in welders are used to measure and control the current flowing through the welding circuit. By providing a low-resistance path, shunts allow for accurate current sensing without significantly affecting the circuit's operation. This data is crucial for adjusting the welding parameters to ensure optimal performance and quality of the weld. Additionally, shunts can help protect the welder from overload conditions by monitoring current levels.
Does blood flow through the shunts and bypass the tissue cells when precapillary sphincters are closed?
Yes, blood can flow through shunts when precapillary sphincters are closed, allowing for blood to bypass the tissue cells. Shunts are direct connections between arterioles and venules that can help regulate blood flow, especially in situations where blood flow needs to be redirected.
Where do endolymphatic shunts drain to?
The endolymphatic shunt drains to the mastoid.
Can blood pressure be measured in the leg?
Yes it can with an automatic b/p cuff however a blood pressure taken in the arm (assuming there are no problems like past stroke or dialysis shunts) is usually more accurate.
If the precapillary sphincters are contracted by which route will the blood flow?
through the shunts
Shunts are devices used to?
To relieve pressure in the brain caused by fluid buildup.
What are heat shunts?
Heat shunts are components designed to dissipate heat away from electronic devices or systems to prevent overheating. They are typically made of materials like aluminum or copper with high thermal conductivity to efficiently transfer heat away from hot spots. Heat shunts play a critical role in maintaining the optimal operating temperature for electronics and preventing damage due to overheating.
What is an electrical shunt?
Shunts are used to bypass portions of a circuit. Shunt capacitors are frequently used to pass the high-frequency components of signals to ground. See the Wikipedia article about shunts. (Follow the web link at lower left.)
How do you use shunt in a sentence?
The word 'shunt' is both a noun (shunt, shunts) and a verb (shunt, shunts, shunting, shunted).Examples:He had to have a heart shunt put in. (noun)The engineer will shunt the train onto that track instead. (verb)
What is the difference between fistula shunt?
fistulas are natural occurring and shunts are man made devices
What should remain in place until the EED is actually ready to be installed?
shorting clips/shunts
