Abstract
In patients with deep pulmonary laceration, hemorrhagic shock with systolic blood pressure less than 80 mm Hg and heart rate more than 120 beats/min leads to a poor prognosis. Emergency thoracotomy and pulmonary lobectomy should be performed before the intrathoracic hemorrhage reaches 1200 mL.
