Sub Dural Fluid for Gram Stain
A subdural fluid gram stain is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of bacteria in the subdural space (the area between the dura mater and the arachnoid layer of the meninges). This test is typically performed when there is a suspicion of a subdural infection, such as a subdural abscess or bacterial meningitis. In this procedure, a sample of subdural fluid is obtained, often through aspiration or surgical drainage. The sample is then stained using the Gram stain technique, which helps classify bacteria into Gram-positive or Gram-negative categories based on their cell wall characteristics. The stained sample is examined under a microscope to identify bacterial organisms. The gram stain provides rapid, preliminary results, which can help guide initial treatment decisions. However, it does not provide information about the specific bacterial species or its antibiotic susceptibility (this would require a culture and sensitivity test). Gram stain results are typically available within a few hours.Place for Ads
