Summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare gravity-driven versus wall suction-driven large volume therapeutic thoracentesis on the development of chest discomfort during the procedure.

This study is a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial designed to compare chest discomfort between gravity-driven and wall suction-driven therapeutic thoracentesis. Patients will be stratified by study centers, and randomly assigned to intervention and control arms; and will remain blinding to their group assignment during the procedure.
