Summary

This study looks at whether giving antibiotics for just 24 hours around the time of placing a special antibiotic-coated brain drain works as well as giving them for the whole time the drain is in place. The goal is to find the best way to prevent serious brain infections in people with bleeding in the brain. About 84 adults with conditions like subarachnoid hemorrhage or hydrocephalus who need this drain will take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * patients over the age of 18 years * patients diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, or acute ischemic stroke who require an EVD for management of their underlying condition. In certain cases (a small minority), an EVD must be replaced due to failure (i.e., blood clot interrupting flow). In such cases, patients will be re-dosed with antibiotics prior to catheter exchange in typical fashion and continue in their previously randomized treatment group Exclusion Criteria: * patients who were on antibiotics within the week prior to admission * patients with leukopenia (\<5000) at baseline * patients with signs of meningitis, ventriculitis or any other infection at presentation * patients who are pregnant or prisoners * patients aged \< 18 years old
