Spontaneous tension hemothorax in a severe COVID-19 patient receiving ECMO therapy: The other side of COVID-19-associated coagulopathy

As opposed to widely recognized Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated thrombotic events, the unusual but serious bleeding complications in COVID-19 patients are worth-mentioned. Here, we describe a 44-year-old man afflicted by COVID-19 pneumonia with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARD...

Mahidol University Medicine As opposed to widely recognized Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated thrombotic events, the unusual but serious bleeding complications in COVID-19 patients are worth-mentioned. Here, we describe a 44-year-old man afflicted by COVID-19 pneumonia with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and submassive pulmonary embolism. The patient's condition initially improved with the prescription of ECMO, tocilizumab, and hemoadsorption, however, he later developed spontaneous tension hemothorax, which is considered rare but devastating in the setting of COVID-19.
