Investigation for facilitation of diagnostics of cerebrospinal fluid in intensive care

Recruiting

• Conditions: I60.9; G03; I62.9; Subarachnoid haemorrhage, unspecified; Meningitis due to other and unspecified causes; Intracranial haemorrhage (nontraumatic), unspecified

• Registration Number: DRKS00021466
• Lead Sponsor: niversitätsklinikum Göttingen Klinik für Anästhesiologie

Brief Summary

Blood gas analyzers measure CSF-lactate with sufficient reliability and can help in the timely detection of a developing meningitis. In addition to and triggering established CSF diagnostics, CSF-lactate measurements by blood gas analyzers may improve surveillance of patients with CSF drainage.
