dc.description.abstract | Insertion of an external ventricular drain is a common procedure used in everyday practice by neurosurgeons all around the world. It consists of the placement of an external ventricular drain (EVD) into the ventricular system providing the ability to measure intracranial pressure, and also divert the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in a variety of pathological conditions. The most common complication is infection, and it may result in devastating consequences and negatively affect the outcome of these patients. The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the Neurocritical Care Society (NCS), and The Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology & Critical Care (SNACC) have published recommendations for the management of EVD-Associated Ventriculitis. The objective of this study was to assess the methodological quality and reporting clarity of these recommendations using the AGREE-II tool. We found that the overall quality of the published clinical practice guidelines is acceptable. However, continuous updates and external validation should be implemented. © 2021 The Neurosurgical Foundation. | en |
