NCT ID NCT07630051

Summary

This study looks at the best way to remove a temporary brain drain (external ventricular drain) in patients who had a brain bleed. The drain helps relieve pressure, but keeping it in too long raises infection risk. Researchers will compare two weaning methods—direct clamping versus gradual raising—in 170 adults to see which leads to fewer days with the drain.
