Comparative efficacy of cisternal drainage versus external ventricular drainage in severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Fig 5
Changes in cerebrospinal fluid characteristics and biomarkers.
A and B: cell count and protein content of CSF. D-F: Changes in inflammatory factors. G-I: Changes of vascular endothelial cell injury factors. C: Different characteristics of CSF in the two groups. From those pictures, we could infer that cisternal drainage could enhance hemorrhagic/inflammatory CSF clearance. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).
