Infection related to the placement of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring systems has been examined closely by practitioners. Review of the literature identifies many factors contributing to infection. In this two-year retrospective study of 52 patients who underwent ICP monitoring, 12 variables were studied: diagnosis, type of monitor, date and place of insertion, duration of monitoring, drainage, frequency of system change or irrigation and personnel involved, dressing changes, range of patient temperatures, culture results, concurrent infections and antibiotic therapy. Practices that minimized infection rates in our patient population are identified as well as implications for nursing practice and quality assurance measures for ICP monitoring.
从业者已对与颅内压（ICP）监测系统放置相关的感染进行了密切研究。文献回顾确定了许多导致感染的因素。在这项对52例接受ICP监测的患者进行的为期两年的回顾性研究中，研究了12个变量：诊断、监测器类型、插入日期和地点、监测持续时间、引流、系统更换或冲洗频率以及相关人员、换药、患者体温范围、培养结果、并发感染和抗生素治疗。确定了在我们的患者群体中使感染率降至最低的做法，以及对ICP监测的护理实践和质量保证措施的影响。
