A bloody output during thoracentesis can be caused by several factors, including trauma to the pleura or surrounding tissues, the presence of malignancy, or infection that can lead to inflammation and vascular fragility. Additionally, coagulopathy or the use of anticoagulant medication can increase the likelihood of bleeding. It may also indicate the presence of a hemothorax, where blood accumulates in the pleural space. Careful technique and patient assessment are essential to minimize these risks.
