Rapid clearance of blood from the cerebrospinal fluid space may mitigate neuroinflammatory cascades and improve clinical outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness of active cerebrospinal fluid exchange, including neuroendoscopic lavage and IRRAflow systems, versus external ventricular drainage in patients with intraventricular hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and thoroughly assessed databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science, up to September 18, 2025. Statistical analysis, both fixed-effect and random-effect model analyses, was performed by the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. In addition, the Cochran Q test was conducted to determine the statistical heterogeneity. In terms of low heterogeneity, the fixed-effect model is reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This review included 7 studies with a total sample size of 834.
