• W2010944060 abstract "Nine children underwent early decortication for empyema. Three had posttraumatic empyema and six had postpneumonic empyema. The decision for decortication was made 3–5 days after diagnosis of empyema, when it was judged that conventional treatment by antibiotics and intercostal catheter drainage was failing. Such failure was manifested by: Ioculated effusions (9), persistent fever (8), persistent respiratory distress (3), pulmonary air leak (3), and worsening parenchymal disease (1). The decortication procedure consisted of a standard posterolateral thoracotomy, removal of the fibrinous peel from the visceral and parietal pleurae, debridement or resection of necrotic lung tissue, irrigation of the pleural space, and drainage by intercostal catheters. In the 9 children who underwent this procedure, there were no deaths and a single complication, suppurative thrombophlebitis. Recovery was rapid in 6 out of 9 children, who were discharged within 10 days of operation. The remaining 3 out of 9 children had associated injuries or illnesses that necessitated a longer hospital stay. Bacteriologic studies confirmed anaerobic bacteria in the infected pleural contents of 5 out of 9 children. Bacteroides and anaerobic streptococci were the commonest isolates. Anaerobic infection of the pleural space cannot be cured without aggressive surgical drainage, in addition to antibiotics. Our experience suggests that early decortication is an efficacious procedure for selected children with empyema. The presence of anaerobic bacteria in the empyema may constitute an unequivocal indication for early decortication. Nine children underwent early decortication for empyema.
