Abstract:
Experiences obtained with 400 cases of thoracal empyema are described. The fact that the rate of lethality was 18.7% until present points out to the severity of the disease. The semi-conservative therapeutical methods used by the author (drainage, drainage and pleura lavage, pleura lavage and thoracoscopy, balance drainage) are presented. With their sensibly more frequent use the rate of operation could be reduced by 8% (from 36.5% to 28.5%) and the lethality rate by 7.6% (from 18.7% to 11.1). Further improvement of the results may be expected of the increased number of early detection (basic care), concentration of empyemic patients in special institutes (departments, wards) and due to it of a more efficient special treatment of uniform contemplation.
