1150. Evaluating the Impact of Antibiotic Prophylaxis on the Microbiology and Incidence of Ventriculitis in Patients with External Ventricular Drains
BACKGROUND: External ventricular drains (EVDs) are frequently used in acute brain injuries for continuous intracranial pressure monitoring and cerebrospinal (CSF) fluid diversion. EVDs are associated with a 0–22% risk of ventriculitis. The evidence for antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) for ventriculitis p...
