ABSTRACT:
The Pus in the pleural space is referred to as empyema and is frequently caused by nearby pneumonia, trauma to the chest wall, or a complication following thoracic surgery. Pleural empyema is a serious condition characterized by the accumulation of purulent material in the pleural space, often resulting from bacterial infection. Early intervention and targeted treatment strategies are crucial in managing this condition effectively. This case study describes how early intervention and chest physical therapy helped a 44-year-old patient successfully manage pleural empyema. The patient received early antibiotic medication and chest physiotherapy, which included postural drainage and percussion, for their fever, chest pain, and respiratory distress. This method eliminated the need for more invasive operations by significantly reducing pleural empyema, enhancing lung function, and alleviating symptoms. This case illustrates the effectiveness of combining early medical and physiotherapeutic therapies in improving outcomes for pleural empyema.
