Prospective surveillance of drain-associated meningitis/ventriculitis in a neurosurgery and a neurologic intensive care unit.
Résumé
There are currently no data available on drain-associated infection occurrence related to the number of drainage-days, and thus drain-associated infection rates. Therefore, we conducted a prospective surveillance study to determine drain-associated infection rates and drainage-days of hospital-acquired external ventricular drain- (EVD) and lumbar drain- (LD) associated meningitis/ventriculitis in a neurosurgery (NSICU) and a neurologic intensive care unit (NICU).
