PostTraumati postoperative :open heart , esophageal, mediastinum , lung rupture of lung absess
-pathophysiology and stages During an inflammatory process such as pneumonia, there is an increase in fluid production in the pleural cavity known as the exudate stage. As the disease progresses microorganisms, usually bacteria, can colonize the fluid and generated an empyema. This fluid is characterized by elevated lactate dehydrogenase, proteins, neutrophils, and dead cells. Macroscopically is a thick opaque fluid found in the fibrinopurulent stage. After the resolution of the infection and as a consequence of the inflammation, there is a process of fibrosis that can lead to restriction of the lung parenchyma which is stage of chronic organization

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
intercostal tube
A chest tube is a hollow, flexible tube placed into the chest. It acts as a drain.
Chest tubes drain blood, fluid, or air from around your lungs, heart, or esophagus.
The tube around your lung is placed between your ribs and into the space between the inner lining and the outer lining of your chest cavity. This is called the pleural space. It allows your lungs to fully expand.
