    Ventriculostomy-related infections—an epidemiological study (1986)

    Notes: Summary In a prospective study involving a total of 87 ventriculostomies, ventriculostomy-related infections (based upon a bacteriological definition) developed in 15 patients (17.2 per cent). Intraventricular haemorrhage was related to a higher infection rate. Infection was most frequent within the first days after the external ventricular drain (EVD) was inserted. There was no relation between infection and the number of manipulations of the EVD or antibiotic treatment during the time of EVD placement.

    Treatment of ventriculostomy-related infections (1988)
    Springer
    Acta neurochirurgica 91 (1988), S. 47-49 
    Details
    ISSN: 0942-0940
    Keywords: Treatment ; infection ; ventriculostomy ; CSF shunt ; external ventricular drainage ; ventriculitis

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The results of the treatment of 15 cases of ventriculitis related to the use of external ventricular drainage are presented. A review of the literature on the treatment of cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections combined with our data suggest the following treatment of venticulostomy-related ventriculitis: 1. Antibiotic treatment according to the resistance pattern of the infecting microorganism and 2. Removal or replacement of the ventricular drain. 3. One should wait for bacteriological cure before implanting a permanent internal drainage system.
