Doel van het onderzoek
It has been demonstrated that VATS is a good alternative treatment option for chest drainage in children with parapneumonic effusion. Clinical improvement even seems to occur faster after VATS, indicating that when VATS is performed in an early stage it might fasten clinical improvement.
In this prospective study we want to compare the clinical outcomes after early versus late VATS.
Onderzoeksopzet
1. Hospitalization;
2. Follow-up after 1 month;
3. Follow-up after 3 months if no complete recovery after 1 month.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Every child with pneumonia and parapneumonic effusion will be hospitalized and treated according to hospital protocol. If there is no clinical improvement 48 hours after starting intravenous antibiotics or insertion of chest drain, CT will be done, and, if needed, VATS will be performed.
