Ages: 1 Day – 48 Weeks
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 140

Summary

Following thoracic surgery, pleural effusion in pleural cavity requires post-operative drainage. Pleural effusion is responsible for pulmonary congestion, atelectasis, hypoventilation, lower efficacy of diaphragmatic curse, lower pulmonary reexpansion and vicious attitude. These complications could be avoided by respiratory physiotherapy. Forced expiration technic in ipsilateral decubitus is one of these technics but has never been proved better than other technics regarding its efficiency. The aim of the study is to compare the impact of such a technic on post operative thoracic drainage after pulmonary, pleural or mediastinal pediatric surgery.
