Hemothorax is defined as blood accumulation in the pleural cavity with a hematocrit value of the effusion exceeding 50%. Symptoms and severity vary, ranging from asymptomatic to an imminent state of threatened cardiac arrest. This paper presents the etiology, initial work-up, and treatment of hemothorax, with an emphasis on massive hemothorax requiring

I. Introduction Hemothorax is defined as accumulation of a significant amount of blood in the pleural space. By pure visualization of pleural fluid, it is clinically difficult to judge the amount of blood, and usually this is overestimated (1). For a hemothorax, the hematocrit of the pleural fluid should be at least 50% that of the peripheral blood (2).
