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 ¹⁾
