Intrathoracic hemorrhage from adhesions torn by a spontaneous pneumothorax is relatively uncommon. Continued hemorrhage from such adhesions after the evacuation of 1,500 ml of blood would usually require thoracotomy for control. Through a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope, we confirmed the source of hemorrhage and cauterized the bleeding point. This case illustrates another application for pleuroscopic examination, further broadening the use of the flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope.
自发性气胸撕裂粘连导致的胸腔内出血相对少见。在引出1500毫升血液后，此类粘连持续出血通常需要开胸手术来控制。通过可弯曲纤维支气管镜，我们确定了出血源并烧灼了出血点。该病例说明了胸腔镜检查的另一种应用，进一步拓宽了可弯曲纤维支气管镜的使用范围。
