The term hemothorax can be defined as the entry of pleural fluid and blood into the pleural cavity. Pleural fluid with a hematocrit of 25% - 50% of the patient’sblood could lead to the diagnosis of a hemothorax..[1] Hemothorax can also occur spontaneously or as a complication during or following surgeryhowever,r this is much less common. The bleeding can originate from any intrathoracic structure and can compromise the function of the lungs.[2]
