New study: could a simple drain cut hospital time for lung abscess patients?
NCT ID NCT07247461
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether placing a small tube through the chest wall to drain pus from a lung abscess, along with standard antibiotics, helps people recover faster and leave the hospital earlier. About 84 adults with large abscesses will be randomly assigned to get either the drainage procedure plus antibiotics or antibiotics alone. The main goal is to see if the drainage group has shorter hospital stays.
