Excessive external drainage of CSF might aggravate bacterial ventriculitis.
Bacterial ventriculitis is one of the most difficult diseases of neurosurgery, if not controlled well in the early stage, it will cause empyema, adhesion and separated infectious ventricle locules inside the ventricle. Few studies focus on the relationship between external drainage volume and the occurrence of adhesion and separation of the ventricle. This paper reported a case of ventriculitis...
متن کاملDiagnosing external ventricular drain-related ventriculitis by means of local inflammatory response: soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1
INTRODUCTION External ventricular drainage (EVD)-related ventriculitis is one of the most severe complications associated with the use of EVDs. Establishing an early and certain diagnosis can be difficult in critically ill patients. We performed this prospective study to evaluate the usefulness of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) determination in cerebrospinal ...
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 کاملProspective, 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...
متن کاملMetal external ventricular drainage catheters in the treatment of persistent ventriculitis - an old story made new: technical note and preliminary results.
AIM Conventional ventricular catheters have proven to be ineffective in the drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid in the long run in terms of infection rates. Consequently, the development and clinical evaluation of new catheters is urgently needed. MATERIAL AND METHODS We implanted a ventricular needle made of stainless steel in 3 neurosurgical patients in whom multiple conventional (silicon) ...
