Once Daily Intrapleural Enzyme Therapy in Complicated Parapneumonic Effusion or Empyema

Официальное название

Once Daily Intrapleural Enzyme Therapy in Complicated Parapneumonic Effusion or Empyema (ONLY ONCE)

Обзор

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if giving certain medications once a day works just as well as giving them twice a day to treat infections around the lungs (called pleural infections). These medications-tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and deoxyribonuclease (DNase)-are placed through a chest tube into the space between the lung and the chest wall to help clear out the infection. The investigators are trying to learn: * Does using the medicine once a day work just as well as using it twice a day? * Are there any differences in outcomes between patients who get the medicine once a day versus twice a day? * Does more or less fluid remain in the chest (seen on a chest x-ray) depending on how often the medicine is given? Participants will: * Have an infection around their lung and will already be getting normal hospital care, including a chest tube to drain the infected fluid around their lung. * Be asked to give permission to join the study. * Be randomly chosen (like flipping a coin) to get the medications either once a day or twice a day through the chest tube.

• Препарат Fibrinolytic twice daily
  tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) 10mg will be administered twice a day as intrapleural enzyme therapy for 3 consecutive days.
• Препарат DNA degradation once daily
  Deoxyribonuclease (DNase) 5mg will be administered once a day as intrapleural enzyme therapy (IET) for 3 consecutive days.
• Препарат DNA degradation twice daily
  Deoxyribonuclease (DNase) 5mg will be administered twice a day as intrapleural enzyme therapy for 3 consecutive days.
