Efficacy of antibiotic-impregnated external ventricular drain catheters.

S Muttaiyah1, S Ritchie, S John, E Mee, S Roberts.   

Abstract

We prospectively compared the incidence of ventriculitis associated with external ventricular drains (EVD) impregnated with clindamycin and rifampicin with historical controls. We found the use of antibiotic impregnated (AI) EVDs showed a significant decrease in positive cerebrospinal fluid cultures and a significant delay in time to EVD infection.
