Prospective, multicentre study of external ventricular drainage-related infections in the UK and Ireland
OBJECTIVES External ventricular drain (EVD) insertion is a common neurosurgical procedure. EVD-related infection (ERI) is a major complication that can lead to morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to establish a national ERI rate in the UK and Ireland and determine key factors influencing the infection risk. METHODS A prospective multicentre cohort study of EVD insertions in 21 ne...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of total drainage time on the risk of catheter infection, and the predictive value of standard laboratory examinations for the diagnosis of bacteriologically recorded cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) infection during external ventricular drainage. METHODS During a three year period, all patients of the neurosurgical intensive care unit (...
متن کاملThe risk factors of external ventricular drainage-related infection at hospital kuala lumpur: an observational study.
BACKGROUND External ventricular drainage (EVD) has been widely used for the purpose of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion at Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL). METHOD This prospective observational study was conducted in HKL from December 2006 to December 2008 among patients who were subjected for EVD, following strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS The frequency of EVD-related infect...
متن کاملCamino intracranial pressure monitor: prospective study of accuracy and complications.
OBJECTIVES The fibreoptic device is a type of intracranial pressure monitor which seems to offer certain advantages over conventional monitoring systems. This study was undertaken to analyse the accuracy, drift characteristics, and complications of the Camino fibreoptic device. METHODS One hundred and eight Camino intracranial pressure (ICP) devices, in their three modalities, were implanted ...
متن کاملExternal ventricular drains: Management and complications
BACKGROUND Insertion of an External Ventricular Drain (EVD) is arguably one of the most common and important lifesaving procedures in neurologic intensive care unit. Various forms of acute brain injury benefit from the continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion provided by an EVD. After insertion, EVD monitoring, maintenance and troubleshooting ess...
