What is the a haematoma?

Definition or Meaning

“haematoma” definition:

A haematoma is a type of swelling that is caused by a trauma to the tissue, which then fills with blood.

There are two types of haematomas: acute and chronic. Acute haematoma occurs when the blood clot dissolves and starts leaking blood. Chronic haematomas are not from bleeding and instead are from damage to the bone marrow, which can cause pressure on the erythrocytes in it.

A haematoma is a collection of blood underneath the skin that can be caused by an injury or as a result of a clotting disorder.

A haematoma is basically a blood clot that has formed in the tissue beneath the skin. This typically happens when someone sustains an injury and doesn't have enough healthy blood to fill in this space.

A haematoma is a type of swelling that occurs when blood collects in the tissues outside of a blood vessel.

A haematoma is formed when blood escapes from an injured vessel and gathers in an area outside the vessel, such as between layers of tissue. One theory for the cause of a haematoma is that the pressure of moving blood forces it out of its usual place.

As well as being painful, a haematoma can lead to problems such as tissue death (necrosis) and compartment syndrome. Early detection and treatment are essential to preventing these complications
