Hemothorax:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The patient with hemothorax may experience chest pain, tachypnea, and mild to severe dyspnea, depending on the amount of blood in the pleural cavity and associated pathologic conditions. If respiratory failure results, the patient may appear anxious, restless, possibly stuporous, and cyanotic; marked blood loss produces hypotension and shock. The affected side of the chest expands and stiffens, whereas the unaffected side rises and falls with the patient’s breaths.
