A system of management is described for colonised hydrocephalus shunts. If organisms have reached the lateral ventricles as well as the valve chamber, the shunt must be removed and the ventricles drained externally with instillation of a suitable antibiotic until the fluid is sterile. If the ventricular fluid is not infected the shunt can safely be replaced at the same operation, using a site on the opposite side of the head. The operation has been performed 12 times without reinfection.
本文描述了一种针对植入性脑积水分流器的管理系统。如果病原体已扩散至侧脑室以及瓣膜腔，则必须移除分流器，并通过注入合适的抗生素对脑室进行外部引流，直至脑脊液无菌。如果脑室液未被感染，可在同一次手术中安全地更换分流器，更换部位选择在头部的另一侧。该手术已进行了12次，均未出现再次感染的情况。
