EPISSOC : Randomized controlled trial comparing an Early Pleural Irrigation strategy with Saline to the Standard of Care for the management of complicated pleural infections

This study compares different ways to treat serious chest infections, called pleural infections. It looks at whether an early wash-out procedure using salt water is better than standard care to help patients recover and avoid further treatments or surgery. It's a phase 3 trial, meaning it's testing for effectiveness.
