BACKGROUND: There are no evidence-based reports on the proper duration of antimicrobial therapy following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery debridement (VATS-D) in thoracic empyema (TE) or complicated parapneumonic effusion (PPE). This study aimed to investigate the optimal duration of antimicrobial therapy after VATS-D.
METHODS: Between January 2011 and December 2019, 33 patients corresponding to American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) category 3 or 4 undergoing VATS-D were included. The times until the body temperature (BT) was confirmed to be less than 37.5 °C and 37.0 °C, white blood cell count (WBC) less than 10,000/μl, segmented neutrophils (seg) less than 80%, and C-reactive protein (CRP) level less than 25% of the preoperative value were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS: The median time from the onset of TE/PPE to surgery was 13 days. The median durations of preoperative and postoperative antibiotic use were five and seven days, respectively. Major complications occurred in four cases (three and one cases of respiratory failure and cerebral infarction, respectively). The median postoperative hospital stay was 14 days. Recurrence or progression to chronic empyema was seen in four cases. The median numbers of days until the conditions were met were three days for BT < 37.5 °C, six days for BT < 37.0 °C, four days for WBC<10,000, seven days for seg<80% and seven days for CRP<25%.
CONCLUSIONS: The proper duration of antimicrobial therapy after VATS-D for TE/PPE is approximately three to seven days. Urgent VATS-D may shorten the total antibiotic usage.
