Hemothorax has been recognized as a clinical entity for centuries. However, the use of closed drainage has only recently been described in the last 50 years. Chest radiography remains the mainstay of diagnosis, however computed tomography and ultrasound are useful in some circumstances. The treatment of hemothorax is adequate drainage.

Chest, 1993
Development of spontaneous hemothorax without predisposing conditions is extremely rare. We report a young man with a history of a seizure disorder who presented to the emergency department with spontaneous hemothorax. Exploratory thoracotomy evacuated 2,000 ml of old blood. No source of hemorrhage was identified.

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians, 1979
A 31-year-old man presented to the emergency department with dyspnea and pleuritic chest pain resulting from a spontaneous hemothorax. A tube thoracostomy was performed on the left side and 700 cc of blood removed. Another 1800 cc of blood oozed from the chest tube. Open thoracotomy was performed in the operating room.

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1997
Hemothorax and chylothorax remain perplexing medical problems. The primary cause of hemothorax is trauma, whereas the primary cause of chylothorax is cancer. Most patients with hemothorax can be treated with chest tube drainage only. Early thoracotomy with thoracic duct ligation is recommended for patients with chylothorax when conservative treatment ...

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

Over the past 5 years, 107 patients have been evaluated for acute traumatic hemothorax at the University of Kentucky Medical Center. Immediate tube thoracostomy was performed on 90 patients for evacuation of blood and air. Only 2 patients died. Thoracotomy was performed as part of the initial therapy in 9 patients.

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).

Hemothorax after Thoracentesis
New England Journal of Medicine, 2016A 65-year-old woman with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and renal failure was hospitalized for acute respiratory failure and bilateral pleural effusions. To rule out empyema, thoracentesis was performed. Hemothorax developed shortly after the procedure.
