What does haemothorax have its haemorrhage source?

First, the rib runs along the intercostal artery and vein in the rib fracture and bleeding, and the other source is pulmonary hemorrhage. Rupture of large blood vessels located in the chest, bleeding caused by hemothorax is rare or heart rupture, once it occurs, is fatal.

Second: a small amount of pneumothorax is generally asymptomatic, vascular rupture, continuous bleeding, leading to hemorrhagic shock. The doctor will do the corresponding treatment according to the specific situation, and at the same time or pneumothorax. Continuous bleeding from ruptured blood vessels requires thoracotomy to stop bleeding.

Third: the blood in the pleural cavity and the thoracentesis that must be removed to prevent secondary infection as empyema. Old hemothorax machine, a thick layer of fibreboard formed on the lung surface, limits the breathing movement of the chest, thus damaging lung function.

matters needing attention

If there is a large amount of blood in patients, pleural puncture must be carried out early to extract the blood and promote lung expansion. Antibiotics can be injected into the pleural cavity to prevent infection. Hemothorax has serious harm to patients, and it will cause shock to patients.
