Study Summary

This randomized controlled trial attempts to determine whether the measurement of pleural pressures during therapeutic thoracentesis affects the development of chest discomfort after the procedure. During thoracentesis, pleural fluid is drained from the pleural space, resulting in lung expansion. In some cases, the lung is not completely re-expandable, in which case continued drainage results in the development of negative pleural pressures and chest discomfort. Negative pleural pressures may also result in other complications such as re-expansion pulmonary edema and pneumothorax. The identification of negative pleural pressures via manometry during the procedure may lead to a reduction in the complication rate.

Primary Outcome

As measured in millimeters along a 10 cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The estimated minimal clinically important difference is 15 mm. Descriptive statistics including means, standard deviations, and ranges will be presented. Investigations for outliers and assumptions for statistical analysis, e.g., normality and homoscedasticity will be made. If necessary, data will be transformed using Box-Cox power transformation. Comparisons between groups, i.e. intervention versus (vs) control, will be made u
