Non-Coagulating Intrapleural Hemorrhage Following Damage to Intercostal Vessels

W. L. MEYER M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 South Dakota State Sanatorium.

It is true that no general conclusions can be drawn from one isolated case, however, this blood remained in the pleural space for a period of four days. There was no appreciable fibrin formation as would be expected with about 2100 cc. of blood, if the removal of the fibrinogen is to account for the lack of clotting. It is possible for extravasated blood to remain in the pleural space without clotting. It would seem reasonable to assume that removal of fibrinogen cannot be responsible for the failure of the blood to clot in this case.
