It is often difficult and complex to manage. Herein, we present cases of four patients who had MMH and in whom a hemothorax was successfully stopped via continuous intrapleural irrigation with epinephrine (5-mg epinephrine/1,000-mL normal saline, infused at 100 mL/h) instead of a conventional surgical approach. Although no patient deaths were attributed to intractable bleeding, two deaths were related to multiple organ failure. Despite the limited number of cases, this method was a convenient, effective, and inexpensive alternative to open surgical or thoracoscopic drainage for MMH. ? 2016 Georg Thieme Verlag KG. |
