EVD-related infection (ERI) is a serious complication linked to significant morbidity and mortality. This review aims to determine the overall incidence of ERI, identify key risk factors, compare the effectiveness of different EVD types, and analyze causative organisms. A comprehensive literature search was performed on public databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar) from inception to 15 July 2025. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) tool and Cochrane tool (RoB-2) were used to assess the quality of included studies. A random-effects model was applied for all meta-analyses. The overall incidence of ERI was 8.6% (95% CI 7.2-10.3, <i>I</i> <sup>2</sup> = 93%). The pooled incidence was 4.3% in AI EVDs, compared with 9.4% in plain EVDs and 10.5% in SI EVDs. In subgroup analysis, the overall incidence of ERI in studies conducted in the US was notably lower than that in the non-US countries (4.1% vs 10.4%). In comparison to plain catheters, the use of AI EVDs was associated with significant reduced risk of ERI occurrence (OR = 0.43, 95% CI 0.28-0.67, <i>I</i> <sup>2</sup> = 16%, <i>p</i> < 0.01), but there was no significant difference between AI EVDs over SI catheters (OR = 0.44, 95% CI 0.15-1.29, <i>I</i> <sup>2</sup> = 5%, <i>p</i> = 0.13). In sensitivity analysis, compared to plain EVDs, SI EVDs were associated with a significantly reduced risk of ERI (OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.38-0.88, <i>I</i> <sup>2</sup> = 0%, <i>p</i> = 0.01). Placement of more than 1 EVD, CSF leakage, and extended catheter duration were significant risk factors for ERI. Our results revealed that ERI was associated with longer duration of EVD, hospital, and ICU length of stay. The majority of infections were due to Gram-positive bacteria (65%).

The Focused UltraSound in Intensive Care HaemoDynamics (FUSIC HD) programme was originally designed to provide a structured national framework for physiologically focused ultrasound assessment, distinct from comprehensive diagnostic echocardiography. Since publication of the original framework, experience from training cohorts, logbook review, and centralised summative assessment has shown that a broader range of haemodynamic parameters can be acquired and interpreted in routine practice. This article outlines the rationale, development process, and methodological principles underpinning the recent revision of the FUSIC HD dataset. The updated framework incorporates additional assessment of left ventricular performance, right ventricular function, and pulmonary vascular loading, together with a refined approach to estimating left atrial pressure while maintaining emphasis on physiological coherence, bedside feasibility, and avoidance of unnecessary diagnostic complexity. The aim is not to expand diagnostic echocardiography capability, but to support more integrated haemodynamic interpretation in critically ill patients within an established training and governance structure.</p>","PeriodicalId":39161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Intensive Care Society","volume":" ","pages":"17511437261470613"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13427945/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148654642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
