[Use of electrochemically activated 0.8% potassium chloride solutions in the treatment of empyema and parietal abscesses of the lung].

Abstract

Electrochemically activated 0.8% solutions of potassium chloride are marked by high bactericidal and bacteriostatic activity, do not possess toxic properties, are easily tolerated by the patients, and promote melting of fibrin and necrotic tissues. With their use granulations and epithelialization occur more rapidly and the terms of treatment and the associated economical expenditures are reduced.
