TLDR
The preliminary results of this study suggest that autotransfusion might be developed in the prehospital setting since it appears simple and safe, and represents the only hope of survival for patients with life-threatening hemothorax.About:

TL;DR: The survival and neurologic outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were not different between trauma and medical patients, suggesting that, under the supervision of senior physicians, active resuscitation after out- of- hospital cardiac arrest is as important in trauma as in medical patients.

TL;DR: The autologous transfusion of the patient’s shed blood collected through chest tubes for hemothorax was found to be safe without complications in this study and would help in designing larger prospective multicenter studies to determine whether this practice is truly safe and effective.

TL;DR: Hemothorax blood contains significantly decreased coagulation factors and has lower hemoglobin when compared with venous blood.

TL;DR: An evacuated hemothorax does not vary in composition significantly with time and is incoagulable alone, and Mixing studies with hemothsorax plasma increased coagulation, raising safety concerns.
