Abstract: Objective To summarize the nursing experience of combination therapy of highly agglutinative staphylococcin (HASL) with cisplatin for patients with malignant pleural effusions. Methods After fully draining of pleural fluid in 62 cases with malignant pleural effusion through pleural puncture through central venous catheters and simply suction bottles, we injected HASL and cisplatin into the patients' pleural cavities. During the therapeutic process, firstly, we drained the pleural fluid fully before injection, secondly, we directed the patients to cooperate well and alter the positions properly, and thirdly, we closely observed the patients' condition and adverse reactions. Results 54 of 62 cases were effective after the therapies. The effective rate was 87.1%.Conclusions In order to achieve a satisfled curative effect and reduce the adverse reactions, we need the cooperation of the patients, fully draining of the pleural fluid before injection and proper alternation of the patients' positions during the treatment process.
