| Core Tip |
Traumatic hemothorax often requires chest tube insertion for resolution. However, the duration of follow-up for small or retained hemothorax (RH) remains uncertain. We aimed to determine the appropriate follow-up duration by using chest radiography (CXR) or computed tomography (CT). The study included 422 patients. Of these, 75% resolved their hemothorax within 7 days and 11% on days 8 to 14 post-admission. A subset of patients continued to experience RH despite early tube insertion. Patients with larger hemothoraces, particularly on the left side, exhibited prolonged resolution times. Regular imaging using CXR or CT is recommended for up to 14 days post-intervention. |
