Clinical Study on 2 Routes of Vancomycin Administration Assisting with Continuous Drainage in the Treat-ment of Intracranial Infection Secondary to Traumatic Brain Injury / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy of cerebroventricular perfusion and intrathecal perfusion of vancomy-cin assisting with continuous drainage in the treatment of intracranial infection secondary to traumatic brain injury,and its effects on cerebrospinal fluid indexes and intracranial pressure. METHODS:One hundred and eighty patients with intracranial infection secondary to traumatic brain injury selected from Sanya Hospital of TCM during Jan. 2012 to Jun. 2015 were randomly divided into control group and observation group according to lottery,with 90 cases in each group. They were given cerebroventricular perfu-sion and intrathecal perfusion of vancomycin(20 mg dissolved in 5 mL normal saline)in cella lateralis and lumbar cisterna respec-tively combined with continuous drainage,q12 h. Both groups received treatment for 7 d.Clinical efficacy,the time of infection con-trol were compared between 2 groups as well as body temperature,intracranial pressure and cerebrospinal fluid indexes before and after treatment,and the occurrence of ADR. RESULTS:After treatment,total response rate of observation group (95.56%) was significantly higher than that of control group (77.78%),with statistical significance (P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The intrathecal perfusion of vancomycin as-sisting with continuous drainage in the treatment of intracranial infection secondary to traumatic brain injury can effectively speed up the rehabilitation process,reduce the body temperature and intracranial pressure,and is helpful to improve the relevant cerebro-spinal fluid indexes. Therapeutic efficacy of it is better than that of cerebroventricular perfusion.
