Brain drain infection risk: how long should antibiotics last?
NCT ID NCT05001750
Summary
This study aims to find the best way to prevent infections from a tube (EVD) placed in the brain to drain fluid after a serious brain bleed. Researchers are comparing a single pre-procedure antibiotic dose to a longer course of antibiotics given for the entire time the drain is in place. The goal is to lower infection risk while avoiding unnecessary antibiotic use that can lead to resistance or other complications.
