Abstract

We reviewed the effect of 3 interventions to reduce the incidence of intraventricular catheter-related ventriculitis, conducted at a tertiary care center in St Louis, Missouri, during an 8-year period. The incidence density of intraventricular catheter-related ventriculitis decreased substantially after the implementation of standardized management of intraventricular catheters.
