External Ventricular Drain Infections: Risk Factors and Outcome

External Ventricular Drain Infections: Risk Factors and Outcome

External ventricular drainage (EVD) is frequently used in neurosurgery to drain cerebrospinal fluid in patients with raised intracranial pressure. We performed a retrospective single center study in order to evaluate the incidence of EVD-related infections and to identify underlying risk factors. 24...
