Abstract	Haemothorax is defined as collection of blood in pleural cavity. An injury or trauma to the chest is the most common cause. It is identified through physical examination, auscultation and different imaging techniques. The study was based on 50 patients admitted in department of CTVS, PMCH, Patna in a time period of 6 months. The different treatment modalities were used in management of the selected patients. The management included removal of collected blood by inter costal chest drain (ICD), a thoracotomy and performing thoracoscopic surgery for very risk patients. In the present study intercostal chest tube drainage treatment showed better result in early intervention. Out of 50 patients, 3 developed minor infection which was treated by aseptic dressing and IV antibiotics. 80% of the selected patients recovered when treated by intercostal chest tube drainage treatment technique and rest 20% recovered by thoracotomy and thoracoscopic surgery. No mortality was reported in the study for next 6 months
