Cefazolin Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Ventricular Shunt Surgery: Determination of Cerebrospinal Fluid Concentration During Valve Implantation

RecruitingNAAges 18 Years - anyAllUniversity Hospital, Strasbourg, France
NCT07067736 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
💬

In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The objective is to determine the concentration of cefazolin in the cerebrospinal fluid after a recommended antiobiotic prophylaxis by 2g of cefazolin. Our main hypothesis is that the concentration is insufficient to protect the valve from infections. The secondary objective is to compare our results to known pharmacokinetic models of cefazolin diffusion in the literature. If differences are found we would like to search clinical features that could explain it.
