Abstract: Systems for the treatment of pleural effusion are disclosed herein. A first system includes a fluid conductor that provides fluid communication with a pleural space of a patient. The first system also includes a canister and a negative-pressure source in fluid communication with the canister. The negative-pressure source pre-charges the canister to a negative-pressure range and maintains the negative-pressure range within the canister while the canister and the fluid conductor are in fluid communication.
