Clinical Trial 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.


Clinical Trial Description

Subdural effusion is a common complication following decompressive craniectomy for TBI (traumatic brain injury), with an overall incidence of 20%-50%. The clinical symptoms of subdural effusion are mainly related to the volume of effusion, and patients with a small volume of effusion may have no obvious symptoms. The flap bulge and tension of the decompression window can be seen on the same side of the decompressive craniectomy window. The specific clinical manifestations can include headache, dizziness, vomiting, epilepsy, hemiplegia, disturbance of consciousness, and other related symptoms. The degree of disturbance of consciousness changes, which can seriously affect the prognosis of patients. Drilling or puncture drainage is often used in patients with subdural effusion who fail to treat conservatively, but the drainage time has not been defined or recommended by guidelines. At present, short-term drainage is the main treatment, but there are problems such as difficulty completely absorbing the effusion or repeated recurrence. Long-term drainage can improve the absorption rate of effusion, but there is a risk of intracranial infection and other complications. Therefore, it is rarely used in clinical practice, and its clinical risks and benefits are not yet clear. Therefore, the investigators aimed to conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term drainage and short-term drainage in the treatment of subdural effusion after decompressive craniectomy in patients with traumatic brain injury. ;
