Utilidade de um escore e de variáveis indicativas de drenagem pleural em crianças com derrame pleural parapneumônico

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃO: A decisão pela drenagem do derrame pleural parapneumônico em crianças é controversa. Uma parceria entre pediatras e cirurgiões deu origem a um escore indicativo de drenagem torácica. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a utilidade do escore na indicação de drenagem torácica para tratamento do derrame pleural parapneumônico em crianças e adolescentes. MÉTODO: Estudo transversal retrospectivo, com 250 pacientes internados com derrame pleural parapneumônico, em hospital de referência terciário (1994 a 1999). As variáve… Show more

“…Complicated PPE is an exudate that can be purulent, culture or Gram staining revealing bacteria and biochemical analysis revealing pH < 7, glucose < 40 mg/dL, and lactate dehydrogenase > 1,000 IU/L. (20) Mocelin et al (21) found that pleural fluid glucose < 40 mg/dL and pleural fluid pH < 7.0 had a sensitivity of 76% and 55%, respectively, for the diagnosis of complicated PPE, the sensitivity of pleural fluid pH having increased to 79% when the cut-off point was increased to 7.2. In 2010, Maranhão et al (22) quantified total proteins in pleural fluid in order to diagnose pleural exudates.…”
