About This Trial
This observational study involving patients with acute brain injury undergoing treatment with an external ventricular drain consists of three subprojects, aiming to:
1. investigate various biomarkers, with a primary focus on the development of cerebrospinal fluid lactate in relation to ventriculostomy-associated infection;
2. compare proximal and distal sample results obtained from an external ve…
