“…Finally, we examined ADR, which we would expect to be decreased in post-cardiac arrest brain injury. 26 In contrast to Soholm et al, we found that ADR was not associated with survival or functional outcome. 27 Those authors also found that rhythmic delta activity (RDA) predicted survival.…”

“…Several studies have shown variable levels for management of neuronal trauma. Our survey shows that the EVD is the preferred technique for ICP monitoring in patients with traumatic brain injury (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). We found that using techniques such as Ghajar Guide is infrequent, perhaps because of the high cost of this system in a country with limited resources such as Colombia.…”

ResultsFifty-one neurosurgeons completed the survey, all neurosurgeons worked in Colombia. The majority of the respondents had more than 10 years of experience (68.6%; n = 35), ≤5 years (13.7%; n = 7), 5-10 years (17.6%; n = 9). When asked about occupation, 51 (100%) were active Abstract Objective: Monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) is a routine procedure in the neurosurgery field. Although the routine practice of monitoring ICP has decreased in recent years, the practice patterns have not been studied in Colombia. This study was designed to evaluate the current practice for ventriculostomy and ICP monitoring by neurosurgeons in Colombia. Methods: An 11-question electronic survey was delivered to 380 practicing neurosurgeons. Demographic information and rates of proper ventriculostomy placement for monitoring of ICP were described. Results: Fifty-one percent of practicing neurosurgeons responded to the survey (response rate 13.4%). The rate of successful cannulation of the ipsilateral ventricle ranged from 70% to 100%. Conclusion: This survey shows that Colombian neurosurgeons have similar tendencies to other developed countries. Prospective studies are necessary to establish actual evidencebased practices.

“…Así también, la presencia de comorbilidades en este grupo de estudio no demostró significancia estadística (p 0,5). (12,19,(21)(22)(23)(24) Los hallazgos microbiológicos de este estudio coinciden con el de la literatura . Se encontró un porcentaje similar entre cocos Gram positivos y bacilos Gram negativos, siendo S. aureus, S. epidermidis, A. baumanii, y K. pneumoniae los gérmenes más frecuentemente aislados.…”

External ventricular drainage-related ventriculitis ARTÍCULO ORIGINAL ARTÍCULO ORIGINALRev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. marzo 2017; 4 (1):46-56 RESUMENIntroducción: el drenaje ventricular externo es una herramienta útil en el manejo de muchos pacientes neurocríticos. Sin embargo este dispositivo no está exento de complicaciones. La ventriculitis es la más importante complicación infecciosa asociada.Objetivos: determinar la prevalencia de ventriculitis en pacientes adultos con drenaje ventricular externo del Hospital Nacional, describir los factores de riesgo asociados e identificar gérmenes más frecuentemente aislados.Resultados: se incluyeron 92 pacientes con drenaje ventricular externo de los cuales el 20% desarrolló ventriculitis. La totalidad de los pacientes con ventriculitis presentaron síntomas de infección luego de 7 días de instalación del drenaje, además la mitad de los mismos requirieron recambio del catéter lo cual constituyó factor de riesgo. Los gérmenes aislados más frecuentes fueron Staphylococcus epidermidis y Acinetobacter baumanii.Conclusiones: la ventriculitis asociada a catéter de drenaje ventricular externo fue 20%. El factor de riesgo estadísticamente asociado fue el recambio del catéter. Los gérmenes aislados más frecuentes fueron Staphylococcus epidermidis y Acinetobacter baumanii. Palabras claves: ventriculitis, ventriculostomía, infección ABSTRACTIntroduction: External ventricular drainage is a useful tool in the handling of neurocritical patients. However, this device is not free from complications. Ventriculitis is the most important related complication. Objectives:To determine the prevalence of ventriculitis in adult patients with external ventricular drainage of the National Hospital, to describe the associated risk factors and to identify the most frequently isolated microorganisms. Doi:10.18004/rvspmi/ 2017.04(01) Ventriculitis asociada a drenaje ventricular externoResults: Ninety two patients with external ventricular drainage were included and 20% developed ventriculitis. All patients with ventriculitis presented symptoms of infection seven days after drainage installation and half of them required a change of the catheter which was a risk factor. The most frequent isolated microorganisms were Staphylococcus epidermidis and Acinetobacter baumanii. Conclusions:The prevalence of ventriculitis related to the external ventricular drainage catheter was 20%. The statistically associated risk factor was the change of catheter. The most frequent isolated microorganisms were Staphylococcus epidermidis and Acinetobacter baumanii. Keywords: ventriculitis, ventriculostomy, infection INTRODUCCIÓNLa infección relacionada al drenaje ventricular externo es una complicación que puede presentarse en los pacientes sometidos a ventriculostomía hasta en un 39% según algunas (1)(2)(3)(4) publicaciones . Ésta presenta una tasa de mortalidad y morbilidad variable, que complica la evolución de los pacientes con patologías neuroquirúrgicas, prolonga la estancia hospitalaria y los costes asiste...
