====== Intracranial drainage tube ======

[[Hyperthermia]] after removal of drainage tubes for patients after neurosurgery can significantly prolong the length of [[ICU]] stay and increase the in-hospital mortality, which may be related to the secondary [[infection]] caused by indwelling intracranial drainage tubes and the intracranial spread of [[bacteria]] caused by the removal of [[drainage]] tubes, as well as the intracranial multidrug-resistant bacterial infection caused by the drainage tubes
