Lung Abscess

Lung abscess was successfully treated with percutaneous drainage in 5 of 6 patients. Complete abscess resolution occurred in 4 patients, partial resolution in one, and no response in one. The duration of drainage ranged from 7 to 18 days (mean 15.5 days) in successful cases. The failure of drainage in one neurologically impaired patient was attributed to persistent aspiration. In 2 patients, concurrent pleural empyema was also cured. CT provided the anatomic details necessary for choosing the puncture site and avoiding puncture of the lung parenchyma. Percutaneous catheter drainage is a safe and effective method for treating lung abscess.

Background: The objective of the study was to assess the outcome of various modalities of treatment and evaluation of a low cost technique of percutaneous catheter drainage of liver abscess.Methods: A prospective study of patients with liver abscess was conducted in a tertiary care centre over a period of one year. Since the cost of commercially available catheter (pig tail type) for image guided percutaneous drainage of liver abscess is quite high (approx Rs 800) and considering the fact that a considerable population in eastern Uttar Pradesh is poverty stricken, this study includes an evaluation of low cost technique of percutaneous drainage of liver abscess as a pilot project. In the present study K-90 was used as “low cost drainage” and compared with pig tail catheter drainage.Results: Total 34 patients with liver abscess were enrolled in the study. 31 cases were male and 3 cases were female. 34 cases were subjected to catheter drainage (pig tail catheter, K-90) yielding varying quantities of pus from 300 ml to 2200 ml, depending on the size of the abscess. 15 out of 34 patients underwent tube drainage (K-90) by our innovative trochar cannula system using 5 mm laparoscopic metal trochar.Conclusions: Although, compared to pig tail drainage, K-90 tube drainage is associated with more number of minor complication and prolonged hospital stay, however looking to the advantages and greatly reduced cost its use is probably justified.

Modern management of liver abcess include a combination of percutaneous Needle aspiration or percutaneous Catherter drainage along with intravenous antibiotic .Liver abcess is common disease in india, if not treated properly can lead to hazardous complication. MATERIAL AND METHOD; This was comparative study of 30 patient from august 2018 to August2020 in civil hospital ahmedabad. Randomization was done and dived into two groups of 25 each and assigned two group as percutaneous Catherter drainage and needle aspiration. Both groups were given intravenous antibiotics for 7 days .Both modalities were performed under guidance of ultrasound imaging. Needle aspiration was repeated for three times and if size of abcess cavity not reduced to half consider as failure of treatment. Effectiveness of treatment measured in term of days to achieve clinical improvement, total/near total resolution of abcess cavity and duration of hospital stay. RESULT; Needle aspiration was successful in 13 out of 15,whereas percutaneous drainage was successful in 14 out of 15.Duration of hospital stay were significantly lower in percutaneous drainage.one patient with needle aspiration developed subcapsular hematoma. CONCLUSION; We can conclude that percutaneous drainage is better modality is better modality as compared to needle aspiration in medium to large size liver abcess. The duration of hospital stay is comparatively lower in percutaneous drainage and days of clinical relief were earlier in percutaneous drainage. This study also verify that both were adequately effective in the treatment of liver abcess. *AIM OF THE STUDY To compare the effectiveness of percutaneous catheter drainage and percutaneous needle aspiration in management of liver abcess.
