Management of Parapneumonic Pleurisy Guided by an Early Pleural Ultrasound

France115 participantsStarted 2016-05-04

Plain-language summary

Parapneumonic pleurisies are a frequent complication of pneumopathies, but therapeutic management is poorly codified. Only the indication of thoracic drainage has benefited from expert recommendations. However, we find in the literature the major importance of early management of infectious pleurisy in order to minimize the sequelae. Pleural ultrasound, sensitive and specific in this pathology could bring us a real interest in terms of diagnostic speed and therefore of care. This study therefore seeks to show that pleural ultrasound can have a major interest in improving the management of patients with parapneumonic pleurisy, by reducing the number of medical treatment failures.
