Impact of Forced Expiration On Pleural Drainage Duration (KPDP)
Sponsor: University Hospital, Tours
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.

Forced expiration
Amongst chest physiotherapy technics, forced expiration is one of the passive procedures used in pediatrics. The patient is positioned on ipsilateral decubitus and the physiotherapist is behind the patient, placing one hand on the patient abdomen and the other on the patient lateral chest. During expiration, the abdominal hand apply a pressure directed posteriorly and superiorly for the patient. Simultaneously, the thoracic hand apply a pressure posteriorly and inferiorly for the patient. The session's duration is 15 minutes after what the physiotherapist replace the patient in dorsal decubitus.Two sessions a day will be performed
