If a chest tube is draining blood from a hemothorax, how much
blood can be drained before you have to contact the doctor? Is it
less than 100mL and then you must contact the doctor?What is the
difference between a hemothorax (draining blood) and pneumothorax
(draining air) and how much can be drained before it becomes a
problem?
Please provide as much detail as possible.
