Abstract:
The objective of this study is to report our experience in the management of pulmonary hydatid disease. Fourteen patients, 6 females and 8 males, ranging in age from 6 to 35 years were seen over a period of 7 years at a Princess Basma Teaching Hospital. Most of them had a single and isolated primary lung cyst. All patients were treated by the open method without resection through a posterolateral thoracotomy. Follow-up was maintained for 5 years with chest X-ray and indirect haemagglutination test performed annually. In conclusion, the lung-preserving operation without resection or capitonnage is the treatment of choice for pulmonary hydatid disease.

For bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics serve as the cornerstone of therapy. Initial treatment often begins with empirical antibiotics, tailored to the anticipated causative organism and adjusted based on culture results. Key antibiotic choices include:
Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.
