Conservative management of large intrapulmonary haemorrhage following penetrating chest trauma

[摘要] Penetrating chest wounds can hide a range of life threatening injuries and often require emergency surgical management. It is important that the patient be assessed and managed according to clinical need and response to medical intervention. This is a case of a patient with a large intrapulmonary haematoma who was managed conservatively and made a good recovery without need for surgery.
