A case of prolonged asymptomatic sinus bradycardia in traumatic chylo-hemothorax

Abstract

We present a case of a 20 year old female who suffered from multiple traumatic injuries across the body after a fall from height. Over the course of her hospital stay, the patient developed chylo-hemothorax which then led to the presentation of prolonged asymptomatic bradycardia in the patient. The chylo-hemothorax was managed efficiently with a tube thoracostomy and the other necessary treatment protocols and there was subsequent resolution of the complaints over the passage of days.
