Use of Lumbar Drain to Remove Clots in Patients Admitted to the Neuro-ICU After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
October 19, 2014 updated by: Peter Birkeland, Odense University Hospital
Use of Lumbar Drain Versus Ventricular Drain to Remove Clots in Patients Admitted to the Neuro-ICU After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (a Randomized Trial).
Recently, a clinical trial showed that the use of lumbar drains compared to ventricular drain in patients suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage resulted in less delayed ischemic neurological deficits but failed to show a clinical benefit after 6 months.
The underlying assumption was, that the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from lumbar drains has a higher concentration of blood than CSF from lumbar drains.
The investigators decided to test this assumption.
In this study, the investigators will randomize patients to either placement of a ventricular or a lumbar drain and analyze the CSF drainage on a daily basis.
