Brief summary (registry, in English)
The SPEEDTAP-trial is a prospective, randomised, investigator-initiated, multicenter, clinical superior trial investigating two thoracentesis methods in four emergency departments (ED) in Central Denmark Region. Patients are randomised to either manual fluid removal in the ED or passively fluid drainage using gravity in the radiology department (standard of care). Primary outcome: time from clinical indication to complete drainage and 188 patients will be included. Key secondary outcomes include length of stay, ED admission to ED discharge and safety end-points.
