Participants will: * Receive receive saline into their pleural space through an existing chest tube * If they fail to improve, which will be determined by fluid size after treatment or signs of persistent infection, they will receive fibrynolytics through an existing chest tube * If they fail to improve, which will be determined by fluid size after treatment or signs of persistent infection, they will be referred to surgery.
