Abstract

AIM: Conventional ventricular catheters have proven to be ineffective in the drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid in the long run in terms of infection rates. Consequently, the development and clinical evaluation of new catheters is urgently needed. MATERIAL and METHODS: We implanted a ventricular needle made of stainless steel in 3 neurosurgical patients in whom multiple conventional (silicon) ventricular catheters had been previously implanted. All of them developed persistent ventriculitis during the first 30 days post-admission. The infection did not respond to antibiotics neither intravenously nor intrathecally via conventional catheters. After the implantation of the needle, colistin mesilate sodium was administered (150,000IU/day for 21 days) intrathecally, cerebrospinal fluid white blood cells were measured and cerebrospinal fluid cultures were obtained. Results: Within 15 days after the implantation of the metal catheter, a significant decrease of the cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count was noted and all cultures were negative. No operation related complications were observed. ConClusIon: Our technique of a metal catheter implantation is safe and requires fewer reoperations. Moreover, it is cost-effective since metal catheters can be used for longer periods of time, can be reused in other patients, and are of low cost.

Özet

AMAÇ: Geleneksel ventriküler kateterlerin uzun dönemli serebrospinal sıvı drenajında enfeksiyon oranları açısından etkisiz olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu nedenle yeni kateterlerin geliştirilmesi ve klinik olarak değerlendirilmesi acilen gereklidir. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Çok sayıda konvansiyonel (silikon) ventriküler kateterin daha önce implante edilmiş olduğu 3 nöröşirürji hastasında paslanmaz çelikten yapılmış ventriküler bir iğne implante ettik. Tümünde hastaneye yattıktan sonraki 30 günde persistan ventrikülit gelişti. Enfeksiyon konvansiyonel kateterler yoluyla intravenöz veya intratekal antibiyotiklere cevap vermedi. İğne implantasyonundan sonra intratekal olarak kolistin mesilat sodyum uygulandı (21 gün boyunca 150.000 IU/gün), beyin omurilik sıvısında lökosit sayımı yapıldı ve serebrospinal sıvı kültürleri alındı. BULGUlAR: Metal kateterin implantasyonundan sonra 15 gün içinde beyin omurilik sıvısı lökosit sayımında önemli bir azalma görüldü ve tüm kültürler negatifti. Ameliyatla ilgili herhangi bir komplikasyon gözlenmedi. SONUÇ: Metal kateter implantasyonu tekniğimiz güvenlidir ve daha az tekrar operasyon gerektirmektedir. Ayrıca metal kateterler daha uzun süre, başka hastalarda da kullanılabilmesi ve maliyeti düşük olması nedeniyle maliyet açısından daha etkin kullanımlıdır.
