==[[Hemothorax overview|Overview]]==
Hemothorax as a clinico-pathological entity can be defined in two ways. Morphologically, it is a pathologic collection of blood within the pleural cavity, between the lung surface and inner chest wall.  Clinically , hemothorax is defined as a pleural fluid with a hematocrit ranging from at least 25–50% of peripheral blood. In cases of long standing haemothorax due to haemodilution, hemothorax can appear with lower levels of hematocrit. massive hemothorax is defined as the drainage of more than 1500 cc of blood upon chest tube insertion.
