Next step:
Step after that:
Chest x-ray
chest tube
Base of R chest has no breath sounds and dull to precussion
DX
Next step
Hemothorax
Chest x-ray after that
Bleeding from the lungs (low pressure circuit) usually stops by itself very seldom have to operate patient to stop bleeding. Having blood in pleural cavity from stab wound is contaminated causes empyema--trauma surgeon will drain blood from chest tube.
Need for thoractomy from Hemothorax is --- cc of blood
1000cc of blood or blood keeps draining at like 200cc per hour for next couple hours if adds to 600cc for 6 hours.
