Considering eleven cases, we are trying to show the interest brought by the choice of the immediate thorax-closing method, in so far as this technic is associated with a correct disinfection of the mediastin a good irrigation-drainage properly well-maintained and overseen, a reanimation technic the main purpose of which is to assure a sufficient caloric and nitrogenous supply.
