Computed tomography-detected hemothorax after blunt chest trauma: Does everyone need an intervention? A retrospective analysis
Conservative management (without tube thoracostomy) was adequate for most patients with <300 ml of hemothorax volumes. Quantitative assessment of hemothorax volume should be considered part of the clinical decision-making algorithm. Further research is needed to refine management strategies and improve outcomes for traumatic hemothorax.
