| English abstract | Background. A great deal of controversy still exists about using antibiotic therapy in association with the tested efficacy of closed chest drainage.The authors studied 167 patients with isolated thoracic trauma to assess the importance of antibiotic therapy to the hospitalization period of post closed chest drainage cases. Methods: A longitudinal prospective study of cohorts was conducted by randomly selecting two groups of patients. The control group consisted of 104 patients who were not given antibiotics and 63 patients in the experimental group were given cephalothin sodium during the post operative period. (500 mg IV - 6/6 hrs). Results : The patients had suffered the following kinds of injuries: closed trauma -12 cases (7.2%); knife injuries - 98 cases (58.7%); firearm injuries - 41 cases (24.6%); lesions caused by other agents - 16 cases (9.6%). The results showed that the average period of hospitalization for the control group was 5.7±3.2 days and for the antibiotic group it was 5.7±2.9 days. Conclusion: The results indicated that hospitalization period for the patients in the control group, who were not given antibiotics and who developed some kind of pleuropulmonary complication, was 3.2 days more than the others |
| Portuguese abstract | No que tange a comprovada eficácia da drenagem pleural fechada, grande controvérsia ainda persiste em relação ao uso associado da antibioticoterapia. Os autores estudaram 167 pacientes, com trauma isolado do tórax, com objetivo de avaliar a importância do uso do antibiótico sobre o tempo de internação pós-drenagem pleural fechada. Dois grupos de pacientes foram incluídos num estudo longitudinal e prospectivo de acompanhamento de coortes. O grupo controle incluiu 104 pacientes sem uso da antibioticoterapia; no grupo experimental, 63 pacientes receberam a cefalotina sódica no pós-operatório (500 mg IV - 6/6 h). Entre os pacientes estudados, 12 (7.2%) apresentavam trauma fechado; 98 (58.6%), ferimento por arma branca; 41 (24.6%) ferida por projétil de arma de fogo e, 16 (9.6%) lesões por outros agentes vulnerantes. Entre os pacientes do grupo controle o tempo médio de permanência hospitalar foi de 5.7± 3.2 dias e, no grupo com antibiótico, 5.7± 2.9 dias. Os resultados mostraram que nos pacientes que não receberam antibiótico e evoluíram com algum tipo de complicação pleuropulmonar, o tempo de internação foi, em média, 3.2 dias maior que nos demais |
