About this study

This trial evaluates the feasibility of ultrasound-guided pleural drainage versus no drainage in adult ICU patients with pleural effusions (fluid buildup around the lungs) and respiratory failure. Half of the patients will undergo drainage, while the other half will not unless their condition worsens to a prespecified degree. Outcomes include feasibility measures, clinical parameters, mortality, serious adverse events, and life support use over 90 days.
