Summary
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
Esophageal balloon will be inserted prior to pleural fluid drainage.
