NCT05792683 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

As limited data is available locally and internationally regarding early Lumbar drain and its effect on duration of CSF leak we have decided to compare it conservative treatment. By providing CSF an alternative route for drainage, the fistula site will remain dry. Leakage site won't be facing CSF pressure, and this will promote early healing of the wound.

Conditions

  • CSF Leakage

Interventions

DEVICE

lumbar drain

Patient will be placed in the lateral decubitus position; catheter will be inserted by using a Tuohy needle in the interspinous area of lumbar spine. The LD catheter will reach the lumbar subarachnoid space.The remaining part of the drainage kit will be placed along the back of the patient. The catheter insertion site will be sutured and treated with povidone-iodine ointment. Sterile drape will be used to cover the entire external part of the LD. The CSF will be collected within the closed beg. CSF drainage through LD will be around 10 ml per hour or 200-250 ml/day.
