What is another word for hemothorax?
Pronunciation: [hˈiːməθˌɔːɹaks] (IPA) 
Hemothorax is a medical condition where blood accumulates in the pleural cavity, the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This condition can result from chest trauma, pulmonary embolism, or underlying medical conditions. There are several synonyms for hemothorax, including blood in the chest cavity, pleural hemorrhage, or hemopneumothorax, which is a combination of air and blood in the pleural cavity. These terms are often used interchangeably by medical professionals to describe the same condition. Treatment for hemothorax involves draining the excess blood from the pleural cavity to prevent further complications. If left untreated, hemothorax can lead to severe breathing difficulties, infection, and lung collapse.
