Clinical observation on the treatment of 34 patients with encapsulated empyema by mini-invasive puncture drainage combined with intraplearal injection of urokinase
Abstract：Objective To explore the efficacy of mini-invasive puncture drainage combined with intraplearal injection of urokinase ( UK) in the treatment of encapsulated empyema .Methods Thirty-four patients with encapsu-lated empyema received mini-invasive puncture closed drainage by inserting central catheters , and intraplearal injec-tion of UK.Results Nineteen cases were cured , 15 cases improved , the total effective rate was 100.0%.The time of indwelling catheter was 16~26(average 20.56)days.Conclusion Mini-invasive puncture drainage combined with intraplearal injection of UK in the treatment of encapsulated empyema is simple , safe and effective , drainage tube di-ameter is not the main factor influencing the curative efficacy .
