[The treatment of posttraumatic hemothorax]
A high procoagulative activity of monocytes, a low procoagulative activity of pulmonary macrophages, and decreased proteolytic activity of leukocytes and monocytes are predominant in patients with coagulated hemothorax. The proteolytic activity of leukocytes of the pleural exudate was higher in these patients than in their blood leukocytes and lower than that of blood leukocytes from healthy donors. Differential correction of phagocytic functional activity in the pleural exudate in terms of the type of hemothorax, its stage, procoagulative and proteolytic activities of phagocytes improve the outcome of the disease.
