Overview

Retrospective analysis demonstrates improved recovery outcomes in patients with stage III tuberculous empyema, indicating drainage type influences prognosis.

Key Points

  • Chest tube duration and hospital stay were significantly shorter in the Double-Tube and Double-NP groups compared to the Single-Tube group.
  • The Double-NP group exhibited significantly lower rates of complications like persistent air leak and pleural effusion.
  • Postoperative drainage volumes were similar across groups, but pain scores were lower in the Single-Tube group than in the Double-Tube and Double-NP groups.
  • Overall, the double-tube with negative pressure drainage improved prognosis despite not reducing postoperative pain.
