Coagulative properties of the blood and exudate accumulated in the pleural cavity following lung operations were studied. On the grounds of the studies of plasmin potential and active antiplasmin of the exudate a method of local fibrionolytic therapy of coagulated hemothorax with intrapleural injections of fibrinilysis activators was devised. Fibrinolytic therapy was applied in 106 patients, streptokinase preparations were injected to 28 of them.
