Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The effects of pleural drainage on lung mechanics are unknown. Insertion of esophageal balloon will allow us to measure and assess pleural pressure, and thus assess any possible effects of pleural fluid drainage may have on lung mechanics.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Esophageal balloon will be inserted prior to pleural fluid drainage.
