Overview
Radiological examination is the key for accurate identification of the source of bleeding. Ultrasonography may be helpful in the diagnosis of hemothorax. In lung ultrasonography, hemothorax is diagnosed as a dependent dark zone free of echo.
Ultrasound
- Dependent dark zone free of echo. Echo shows a sensitivity of 67% and specificity 99%. These values are higher when performed by an ER physician.[1]
- Thoracic spine sign[2]
