Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Recurrence rate of subdural effusion 1 month after drainage catheter removal.

    The evaluation criteria of whether the effusion has recurred is based on the diagnostic results of the imaging examination. The specific manifestations are that the skull CT examination finds that the effusion has reappeared in the original effusion area.

    1 month after drainage catheter removal.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Incidence of related complications.

    1 month after drainage catheter removal.

  • Method of re-intervention after recurrence of effusion.

    1 month after drainage catheter removal.

  • Length of stay in hospital and detailed economic evaluation.

    1 month after drainage catheter removal.

  • GOSE (extended Glasgow Outcome Scale) scores.

    1, 3 and 6 months after drainage catheter removal.

Study Arms (2)

Long-term Drainage

EXPERIMENTAL

The drainage catheter is indwelling continuously and keeps to drainage for 7 days.

Procedure: Long-term Drainage

Short-term Drainage

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The drainage catheter is indwelling continuously and keeps to drainage for 2 days.

Procedure: Short-term Drainage

Interventions

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Unilateral DC surgery was performed on TBI patients after injury;
  • Subdural effusion occurred for the first time and occurred within 30 days after DC surgery;
  • Unilateral effusion accumulation (can appear on the same or opposite side of the bone flap);
  • The subdural effusion cannot be absorbed or has no decreasing trend with conservative treatment and consistent with the indications for surgical treatment;
  • Sign the study informed consent;

You may not qualify if:

  • History of craniocerebral disease or craniocerebral surgery;
  • Combined with ventricular hydrocephalus;
  • Other factors lead to poor prognosis or affect the treatment plan of the patient, even if the effusion can be recovered well, but severe pre-existing disability or severe co-morbidity such as serious heart disease leads to poor prognosis or even death;
  • Pregnant female.
