First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study looks at 95 adults with complicated lung infections (parapneumonic effusion) who need surgery. Doctors want to see if a simple score (RAPID) and ultrasound pictures can predict which type of video-assisted surgery (VATS) is needed—either cleaning or a more extensive procedure. The goal is to help patients recover faster and avoid unnecessary procedures.
