Decrease in proven ventriculitis by reducing the frequency of cerebrospinal fluid sampling from extraventricular drains

Ventriculitis associated with extraventricular drains (EVD) increases rates of morbidity and mortality as well as costs. Surveillance samples of CSF are taken routinely from EVD, but there is no consensus on the optimum frequency of sampling. The goal of this study was to assess whether the incidenc...
