Meaning of "haematothorax" in English

A haematothorax, also spelled hematothorax, refers to the accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity, the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This condition typically results from chest trauma, surgery, or rupture of blood vessels, leading to compromised lung function and respiratory distress. It may require urgent medical intervention to drain the blood and relieve pressure on the lungs. Diagnosing haematothorax often involves imaging techniques like chest X-rays or CT scans to assess the extent of blood accumulation and guide treatment decisions.

Meaning of "haematothorax" in French

In French, "haematothorax" (haémothorax) refers to a medical condition characterized by the presence of blood within the pleural space, similar to its English meaning. It often occurs due to trauma or surgical complications, leading to impaired breathing and potentially life-threatening situations if not addressed promptly. In French medical terminology, this condition is addressed through procedures aimed at evacuating the pleural cavity to restore normal lung expansion. Imaging techniques such as radiography are typically employed to evaluate the severity of the haémothorax and inform the course of treatment.
