AB A  53-year-old  woman  who  smokes  was  admitted  to  the  neurologic  intensive  care  unit  (NeuroICU)  after  warfarin-associated  lobar  intracerebral  hemorrhage  (ICH).  Her  Glasgow  Coma  Scale  in  the  field  was  7,  and  her  ICH  score  was  2.  She  was  intubated  for  airway  protection  on  admission.  After  extubation  on  hospital  day  4,  she  began  to  cough  up  a  large  quantity  of  red  blood  and  required  reintubation.  Her  coagulopathy  had  been  reversed  on  admission,  and  the  INR  was  normal  on  day  2.  Chest  radiograph  performed  prior  to  intubation  showed  complete  opacification  of  the  right  hemithorax,  with  rightward  tracheal  deviation  (Figure  46-1).
