Abstract

Implementation of a standard protocol and use of antibiotic-coated ventricular catheters helped reduce EVD-related infections from 9.2% to almost zero at the University of Florida. This project demonstrated the success of creating a task force to identify areas of improvement, implement solutions, and monitor the outcomes.
