Summary
At present the only available option for EVD patients is supportive care. Under the present under-resourced conditions it is difficult to establish the impact of high quality standardized care on fatality rates. One of the aims of this study is to collect data on all patients admitted to the ETC both prior and after CBT is available. Patients admitted while CBT is not available; are ineligible for CBT; or who do not provide informed consent, will be provided with standardized supportive care and will serve as a 'control group' for patients that recieve CWB or CP (or a possible contingency treatment, depending on the evolution of the epidemic and developments during the implementation of the trial.
