| Background / introduction |
|---|
| Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a life-threatening event that causes significant mortality and morbidity. An important complication of the bleeding is hydrocephalus, which can be treated with external ventricular drainage in the acute phase. Previous research from our group showed an increased rebleeding risk of untreated aneurysmal SAH with external ventricular drainage (1). De optimal approach with regard to management and discontinuation of the external ventricular drainage is unknown. Optimization may result in fewer drain-related infections, prevention of a permanent shunt and possibly fewer rebleeds. (2) |
| Research question / problem definition |
|---|
| What is the optimal approach to management and discontinuation of external ventricular drainage after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage? |
| Workplan |
|---|
| The student will use our SAH database, which contains all aneurysmal SAH’s in the period 1998-2017 to make a survey of management and outcomes of the current strategy towards external ventricular drainage. The student will cooperate in the collection and analysis of the data. When successful, there are many opportunities to continue this line of research in a (MD)PhD project. |
