Study 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.
Primary Outcome
The Global Pain Score will be determined at 5 minutes post-procedure using a VAS 0-100 and represents the pain experienced by the patient during the entire procedure from the beginning to the 5-minute post-procedure assessment
Interventions
- OTHER Standard Suction Thoracentesis
- OTHER Gravity Thoracentesis
