 ==Overview==
-The most common symptoms of hemothorax include severe chest pain. Patients with hemothorax usually appear dullness to percussion and decreased breath sounds, and [[dyspnea]] that can be life threatening when hemodynamic instability and [[hypovolemic shock]] occurs. Some patients with hemothorax may have reduced concentrations of hemoglobin. On chest x-ray, hemothorax is characterized by [[meniscus]] of fluid blunting the [[costophrenic angle]] or diaphragmatic surface and tracking up the pleural margins of the chest wall. Ultrasonography may be helpful in the diagnosis of hemothorax. Computed Tomographic scan is not indicated in the initial trauma setting to diagnosis of hemothorax.
