So little is currently known about how ventriculitis should be defined and those it affects that even less can be known about prevention methods. While treatment is fairly standard for any infection to some degree, prevention is a different matter. One popular theory is the use of [[prophylaxis|prophylactic]] antibiotics, administered during insertion of [[external ventricular drain]]s or ventricular [[stent]]s with the hope of preventing infection.<ref name="Prabhu">{{cite journal | vauthors = Prabhu VC, Kaufman HH, Voelker JL, Aronoff SC, Niewiadomska-Bugaj M, Mascaro S, Hobbs GR | title = Prophylactic antibiotics with intracranial pressure monitors and external ventricular drains: a review of the evidence | journal = Surg Neurol | volume = 52 | issue = 3 | pages = 226–36; discussion 236–7 | date = September 1999 | pmid = 10511079 | doi=10.1016/s0090-3019(99)00084-1}}</ref> The results of these studies have been more or less inconclusive due to a lack of standardized protocol, showing no significant benefit to using [[antibiotics]] as a preventative measure.<ref name=Lucey>{{cite journal | vauthors = Lucey MA, Myburgh JA | title = Antibiotic prophylaxis for external ventricular drains in neurosurgical patients: an audit of compliance with a clinical management protocol | journal = Crit Care Resusc | volume = 5 | issue = 3 | pages = 182–5 | date = September 2003 | pmid = 16573480 }}</ref> |
