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.

| Manual drainage in the emergency department | Procedure | Thoracentesis will be performed according to current guidelines in the emergency department. Fluid will manually be drained using a syringe connected to a three-way stopcock. Thoracentesis will be stopped early if: |
|
Defined as from date and time for insertion of catheter until date and time for removal of catheter
| from date and time for insertion until date and time for removal, assessed up until 3 month |
| Patients degree of chest discomfort (score) | Chest discomfort will be assessed using an appropiate scale before insertion of the catheter, during the procedure and after removal of catheter | from date of indication until removal of catheter, assessed up until 3 month |
| Patients degree of breathlessnesss (score) | Breathlessness will be assessed using an appropiate scale before insertion of the catheter, during the procedure and after removal of catheter | from date of indication until removal of catheter, assessed up until 3 month |
| Patients satisfaction | After removal of catheter patients will be given a questionnaire | On the date of removal, assessed up until 1 month |
| 72- hour revisit from discharged (count) | Defined as any unplanned hospital stay within 72 hours from previous hospital discharge | from date of discharge and up until 72 hours |
| 30 days re-admission (count) | defined as any admission during 30 day follow-up | from date of discharge and up assessed until 30 days |
| Complications to thoracentesis (count) | Number of complications to thoracentesis | from insertion of catheter and assessed up until 1 week after removal of catheter |
| Total ED admission time (days) | Date and time for admission until date and time for ED discharge | From date and time for admission until date and time for ED discharge, assessed up until 1 month |
