Overview

Haemothorax must be differentiated from other diseases that cause dyspnea and respiratory distress.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Differential Diagnosis

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

  • Chylothorax
  • Pleural effusion
  • Pneumothorax
  • Hydrothorax
  • Bloody pleural effusion
  • Cardiac tamponade
  • Hemomediastinum
