Summary

The antiseptic povidone-iodine can safely be instilled into the pleural for the purpose of pleurodesis. Pleural irrigation with antiseptics is used in adults with open drainage for chronic empyema and has been described in the acute management of paediatric pleural infection.

This study will investigate the safety and usefulness of povidone-iodine pleural irrigation in 15 eligible patients recruited to the Pleural Infection Cohort Study (PICS) with acute pleural infection. A matched control group will be used and will be composed of 15 patients previously recruited to PICS without receiving povidone-iodine pleural irrigation.
