• Active subperiosteal drainage is the experimental intervention in the SUPERDURA trial. — Active subperiosteal versus passive subdural 24-hour drainage following single burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma (the SUPERDURA trial): protocol for a multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial
• Vacuum suction of 75 mm Hg is applied manually for active subperiosteal drainage. — Active subperiosteal versus passive subdural 24-hour drainage following single burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma (the SUPERDURA trial): protocol for a multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial
• Subperiosteal drainage places the drain outside the skull over the burr hole rather than in the subdural cavity. — Active subperiosteal versus passive subdural 24-hour drainage following single burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma (the SUPERDURA trial): protocol for a multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial
• The experimental drain is an FG10 Exudrain incorporated into a closed suction system. — Active subperiosteal versus passive subdural 24-hour drainage following single burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma (the SUPERDURA trial): protocol for a multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial
• Subperiosteal placement may reduce the risk of drain-related parenchymal injury. — Active subperiosteal versus passive subdural 24-hour drainage following single burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma (the SUPERDURA trial): protocol for a multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial
