This treatment is an emergency medical treatment. The breathing tube is inserted into the patients' airway by either their mouth or neck. For patients who need assistance with their breathing from a mechanical ventilator, infections in the airways and lungs, known as pneumonia, are a common complication. Everyone naturally has bacteria in their mouth, esophagus and stomach. Clinicians think that during the process of inserting the breathing tube, small amounts of these bacteria can be introduced into the airways and lung when people are unconscious following an acute severe brain injury, or during the process of placing the breathing tube into the airways. These bacteria are now in a place they aren't meant to be and can cause an infections in the airways and lungs known as pneumonia.\n\nThe purpose of this research is to see if giving one dose of a common antibiotic can prevent patients developing pneumonia, which is associated with having a breathing tube inserted and being on a ventilator, improving the chance of recovery following the acute severe brain injury and ultimately improving the chance of surviving.\n\nWhen patients have a known infection, current guidelines are to treat them with antibiotics. Antibiotics work to kill the bacteria causing the infection. When a patient has an infection in their lungs, they often need to stay on the mechanical ventilator for longer. While current practice is to give patients with a proven infection in their airways and lungs (pneumonia) antibiotics, it is unknown if giving an antibiotic to patients to prevent these infections before they show signs of pneumonia may lead to better outcomes.",[276,277,278,279,26,280,281],"All-cause Mortality","Quality of Life","Disability, Intellectual","Neurological Disorder","Ventilation, Mechanical","Intensive Care Medicine",[26,154],"2026-02-16",{"date":255,"type":48},{"date":286,"type":48},"2025-10-30",{"date":288,"type":22},"2029-12",{"name":290,"class":55},"The George Institute",9,{"id":293,"slug":294,"hasResults":11,"nctId":295,"briefTitle":296,"officialTitle":297,"acronym":298,"eligibilityCriteria":299,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":117,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":300,"targetDuration":302,"studyType":23,"phases":4,"briefSummary":303,"conditions":304,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":76,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":307,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":308,"startDateStruct":310,"completionDateStruct":312,"leadSponsor":314,"locationsCount":56},"100622196","ventriculostomy-associated-infections-lactic-focus-on-csf-lactate-and-sampling-site-100622196","NCT07380477","VentricuLostomy AssoCiaTed InfeCtions (LACTIC): Focus on CSF Lactate and Sampling Site","CSF Lactate and Ventriculostomy Associated Infections in Patients With Acute Brain Injury - a Prospective, Observational Cohort Study.","LACTIC","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age \\>18 years\n* EVD in situ\n* Admission to the neuro-ICU or neurosurgical step-down unit at Rigshospitalet, Denmark\n* Diagnosis of acute brain injury categorized as traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracranial haemorrage, intraventricular haemorrhage\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patient or closest relatives do not understand written and spoken Danish or English\n* Patients transferred to Rigshospitalet with an EVD\n* Patients with brain injury due to existing brain infection (e.g., meningitis, intracranial empyema or abscess, encephalitis)\n* Patients with existing ventriculoperitoneal or ventriculoatrial shunt at the time of admission\n* Patients with primary or secondary brain cancer\n* Patients died or in palliative care",{"count":301,"type":22},148,"6 Months","This observational study involving patients with acute brain injury undergoing treatment with an external ventricular drain consists of three subprojects, aiming to:\n\n1. investigate various biomarkers, with a primary focus on the development of cerebrospinal fluid lactate in relation to ventriculostomy-associated infection;\n2. compare proximal and distal sample results obtained from an external ventricular drain;\n3. describe the natural progression of various biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid following acute brain injury.",[26,29,305,306],"External Ventricular Drain","External Ventricular Drainage Associated Infection","2026-01-28",{"date":309,"type":48},"2026-02-02",{"date":311,"type":48},"2025-01-15",{"date":313,"type":22},"2029-10-01",{"name":226,"class":55},{"id":316,"slug":317,"hasResults":11,"nctId":318,"briefTitle":319,"officialTitle":320,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":321,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":117,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":322,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":67,"phases":323,"briefSummary":324,"conditions":325,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":44,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":329,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":330,"startDateStruct":332,"completionDateStruct":334,"leadSponsor":336,"locationsCount":56},"100622532","the-role-of-transcutaneous-vagus-nerve-stimulation-in-treatment-of-acute-brain-injury-100622532","NCT07384845","The Role of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Treatment of Acute Brain Injury","The Role of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Neuroprotection and the Reduction of the Systemic Inflammatory Response in Acute Brain Injury","IInclusion Criteria:\n\nPatients over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury or acute subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of an intracranial aneurysm, confirmed by brain CT or MRI.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nPatients under 18 years of age; patients with autoimmune diseases or malignant diseases; pregnant women; and patients for whom informed consent to participate in the study is not obtained.",{"count":237,"type":22},[69],"Acute brain injury is a major global health problem associated with high mortality and morbidity, limited therapeutic options, prolonged hospital stays, and long-term disability that significantly impairs quality of life and increases healthcare costs.
