The Safety of Thoracentesis in Patients with Uncorrected Bleeding Risk
Ann Am Thoracic Soc 10:336-341, Puchalski, J.T.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This single-center, observational study suggests that thoracentesis may be safely performed without prior correction of coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia, or medication-induced bleeding risk. This may reduce the morbidity associated with transfusions or withholding of medications.
