hemothorax

A haemothorax, pneumothorax or both can occur if the chest wall is punctured.

The haemothorax shouldn't take too long."

A hemothorax (or haemothorax) is a condition that results from blood accumulating in the pleural cavity.

This could cause blood or air to drain into the chest cavity, haemothorax or pneumothorax, respectively.

They were ready when they brought the first case in; a youngish woman with all the signs and symptoms of haemothorax, and only semiconscious.

Examples would be a fractured cervical vertebra, a severely fractured pelvis, or a haemothorax.

Blood (haemothorax)

In the same patient haemoperitoneum and haemothorax occurred and in a further patient a large subcutaneous haematoma was seen.

An autopsy performed on the body shortly after its discovery indicated that the cause of death was most likely a haemothorax caused by a direct blow to the torso.

In a conscious patient, or where a pulse and breathing are clearly present, the care provider will initially be looking to diagnose immediately life-threatening conditions such as severe asthma, pulmonary oedema or haemothorax.

Dr Eley added: "Other reported Wii-associated injuries have included traumatic haemothorax (a collection of blood in the chest cavity) from a fall playing, dislocations and head injuries from being struck accidentially by a gaming partner."

The aim is to identify and manage six life threatening thoracic conditions as Airway Obstruction, Tension Pneumothorax, Massive Haemothorax, Open Pneumothorax, Flail chest segment with Pulmonary Contusion and Cardiac Tamponade.

Injury to the chest is the most common cause of hemothorax.

Even minor injury to the chest wall can lead to significant hemothorax.

Therefore, pneumothorax is usually more of a problem than hemothorax.

Hemothorax can put pressure on the lung and force it to collapse.

A large hemothorax is often a cause of shock in a trauma victim.

The cause of the hemothorax should be also treated.

Depending on the cause, a hemothorax may not be preventable.

Signs of hemothorax may be seen on the following tests:

The patch would keep him alive for a few extra moments, assuming he hadn't suffered a hemothorax.

Hemothorax can also be a complication of tuberculosis.

It can have several causes including hemothorax, pleural effusion and tuberculosis.

Hemothorax may also be associated with pneumothorax (air trapped in the pleural cavity).

The outcome depends on the underlying cause of the hemothorax and the promptness of the treatment.

A fibrothorax most commonly develops as a complication of an empyema or a hemothorax.

Having survived the attack, he was taken to a nearby hospital where he died of hemothorax and hemoperitoneum 10 minutes after arriving.

Half the time, initial X-rays are normal; in most of those that are not, hemothorax or pneumothorax is present.

A hemothorax (or haemothorax) is a condition that results from blood accumulating in the pleural cavity.

Up to three quarters of cases are accompanied by other chest injuries, the most common of these being hemothorax and pneumothorax.

In most cases, initial formation of empyema or hemothorax is the triggering factor for this inflammatory reaction.

It is revealed that Lexie is suffering from a hemothorax, and that she will die.

This is called hemothorax.

A massive hemothorax.

The accumulation of blood in the thoracic cavity (hemothorax) exacerbates the problem, creating a hemopneumothorax.

A hemothorax is managed by removing the source of bleeding and by draining the blood already in the thoracic cavity.

Therefore adequately functioning chest tubes are essential in the setting of a hemothorax treated with a chest tube.
