Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:

  • To identify and evaluate all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing simple aspiration and intercostal tube drainage in the management of PSP;

  • To establish whether simple aspiration is equally as effective and safe as intercostal tube drainage in the management of PSP.
