Objetives: We pretend to know the influence of postural treatment in the solution of pleural em¬ pyema class 5-6 (according to Light) and treated with pleural drainage, chest phisiotherapy and intra¬ pleural administration of urokinasa. Experimental Group: They received postural treatment during the permanence of the fibrinolytic in the pleural cavity.
Control Group: They followed the ruled treatment by the doctor but without postural treatment.
Results: The study result prove a clearly trend to decrease the average time as much permanence of pleural drainage days like hospitalization days.
— Experimental Group: Permanence of pleural drainage days average 8.77; hospitalization days
average 15.7; surgical operation 1 patient.
— Control group: Permanence of pleural drainage days average 9.55; hospitalization days average 22.7; surgical operation 1 patient.
