متن کاملHemothorax following snakebite.
We report a 12 year old girl with snakebite, who developed hemothorax 5 days after admission. One liter of blood was aspirated. The bite was presumed to be that of saw scaled viper (Echis carinatus) that resulted in DIC and direct endothelial injury leading to bleed. Selective bleed into the pleural cavity is a rarity.

We propose the use of a pulsatile high-speed irrigation device during video-assisted thoracoscopy for retained, in part coagulated hemothorax. Blood clots and membranes adhering to intrathoracic structures are easily removed by the water jet without damaging underlying structures. The efficient dilution of the sticky retained blood and the fragmented coagula enable their quick removal over a su...
متن کاملPrehospital autotransfusion in life-threatening hemothorax.
Eighteen patients with life-threatening traumatic hemothorax received prehospital autotransfusion using a simple new device. During transfer to the hospital, they received 3.9 +/- 0.5 L of colloid fluid and 4.1 +/- 0.6 L of autotransfused blood, without anticoagulation. Hemorrhagic blood was not coagulable, had a hematocrit of 20 +/- 4 percent, few platelets, and low fibrinogen levels. Five pat...

The patient died before any surgical intervention. We report this case to emphasize that rup...
