Clinical Trial Summary

A great controversy exists about which is the best method to perform the evacuation of the collection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate which is the best initial treatment to drain complicated parapneumonic empyema (stages II and III) in children: the present study raises a hypothesis of equivalence between both arms of treatment (chest drainage plus intrapleural urokinase or videothoracoscopic debridement).
