Complications arising from a hemothorax can include infection, such as empyema (pus in the pleural cavity), and the development of fibrothorax, where fibrous tissue forms in the pleural space, restricting lung expansion. Other complications can involve prolonged lung compression, leading to respiratory failure or shock due to significant blood loss. Immediate treatment is essential to prevent these serious outcomes.
