10. What is an empyema, and what causes it?
Show answer
An empyema is a purulent (infected) effusion. Fluid or blood in the pleural space can be directly innoculated (with bugs) during surgery or trauma (33%) or by contamination from contiguous sites (50%) such as bronchopulmonary infection (most common). Most empyemas are parapneumonic, and the most commonly involved organisms are Staphylococcus aureus, enteric gram-negative bacilli, and anaerobes. Many times, infections are polymicrobial. Often there is no growth of an empyema culture because of effective antibiotic therapy or inadequate culture techniques, particularly with anaerobes.

6. What is a pleural effusion?
Show answer
Pleural fluid is generated in normal adults at a rate of 5-10 L per 24 hours in the combined hemithoraces, but normal adults have only 20 mL of pleural fluid present at any time. Pleural effusions develop when there is either increased production or decreased resorption. Pathologic conditions leading to effusions include increased capillary permeability (inflammation, tumor), increased hydrostatic pressure (e.g., in congestive heart failure [CHF]), decreased lymphatic drainage (tumor, radiation fibrosis), decreased oncotic pressure (hypoalbuminemia), or combinations of these.

22. Why are complications associated with bile duct leaks?
Show answer
Bilomas (i.e., collections of bile) frequently become infected and may result in lethal peritonitis. Biliopleural fistula, a communication between the biliary system and pleural cavity, persists because of the relative negative pressure in the thorax and may result in a bile empyema.

1. How often do patients with penetrating chest wounds need an operation?
Show answer
Surprisingly rarely. Most civilian penetrating injuries are from knives and low-energy handguns. Consequently, although injuries to the chest wall and lung are common, the majority of patients can be treated with tube thoracostomy alone. Formal thoracotomy or median sternotomy is required in < 15% of isolated penetrating chest injuries.

1. What are the risk factors for developing esophageal cancer?
Show answer
Both alcohol and tobacco increase the risk of carcinoma of the esophagus by a factor of 10. Additional risk factors include Barrett’s esophagus with dysplasia, carcinogen exposures (e.g., nitrosamines in the Eastern world), vitamin and trace element deficiencies, and Plummer-Vinson syndrome.
