Long-term Drainage: After drilling or puncture, the drainage catheter is indwelling continuously and keeps to drainage for 7 days. Keep incision sterility, record the daily fluid drainage flow, and perform biochemical and bacterial culture identification tests for CSF regularly. Removing drainage catheter when the allocated time is reached. If there is still unabsorbed effusion after the allocated time is reached, the catheter placement time is extended and the relevant information is recorded.
Short-term Drainage: After drilling or puncture, the drainage catheter is indwelling continuously and keeps to drainage for 2 days. Keep incision sterility, record the daily fluid drainage flow, and perform biochemical and bacterial culture identification tests for CSF regularly. Removing drainage catheter when the allocated time is reached. If there is still unabsorbed effusion after the allocated time is reached, the catheter placement time is extended and the relevant information is recorded.
Drilling or puncture drainage is commonly used in TBI patients with subdural effusion following decompressive craniectomy who fail to respond to conservative treatment, but there is no exact regulation or guideline recommendation for the drainage time. The investigators aimed to conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term versus short-term drainage in the treatment of subdural effusion after decompressive craniectomy in patients with traumatic brain injury.
