Abstract:
Case record of patients with lung abscess treated by postural drainage is presented in this paper. In young man with multiple explosive injuries lung abscess was formed two months after injury. A postural drainage with parenteral application of antibiotics has been performed. The expectoration was painful. At the seventh day there was no temperature, ESR was described at the tenth day. The general status was becoming better. At the seventeenth day patient was discharged from Hospital. Rig imaging was shown nearly completely resolution of lung abscess. Postural drainage was effective because of favorable localisation of abscess near the large bronchus and basely part of the lung.
