Brief Summary:
The length of prophylactic antibiotic use with antibiotic impregnated External Ventricular Drains (EVD)s is unknown. This study is a randomized clinical trial with two arms:
1. twenty four hours of prophylactic antibiotic use or
2. prophylactic antibiotic use for entire duration of EVD
Detailed Description:
The principle objective of this study is to compare the incidence of ventriculostomy related infections (VRIs) in patients who receive twenty-four hours of antibiotics, beginning no more than sixty minutes prior to EVD placement, to the incidence of VRIs in patients who also receive a pre-procedural dose of antibiotics with continued dosing of antibiotics for the duration of the external ventricular drain (EVD).
