Moreover, the survey showed neurosurgical cerebral hemorrhage and severe brain injury patients nosocomial infection rate of 15.8% [1], significantly higher than the national average of nosocomial infections in 8% [2]. Therefore, a careful analysis of neurosurgical intensive care patients with nosocomial infection related factors, and to take effective care and prevention measures to minimize nosocomial infections is very important. 1 Materials and methods 1.1 Clinical data Our hospital in January 2005 ~ December 2008 in the intensive care unit treated 368 cases of neurosurgical patients, aged 3 to 86 years with an average age of 44.7 years. 215 case
