hemoptysis/hemorrhage

Background: Pulmonary hemorrhage and hemoptysis are the second-most common and potentially life-threatening complications after pneumothorax following percutaneous computed tomography-guided transthoracic lung biopsy (PCTLB). Preventing

Pulmonary hemorrhage and hemoptysis are uncommon in childhood, and the frequency with which they are encountered by the pediatric pulmonologist depends largely on the special interests of the center to which the child is referred. In those centers caring for children with cystic fibrosis or

We present a rare and interesting case of subclavian vein puncture-induced focal intraparenchymal lung hemorrhage and massive hemoptysis developed during CRT-D implantation. Clinical picture advanced to pulmonary edema in seconds. A noncontrast multiple-detector computed tomography scan revealed

UNASSIGNED Hemoptysis is an important symptom which causes a major concern, and warrants immediate diagnostic attention. The authors compared a group of patients with pediatric pulmonary hemorrhage with pediatric patients diagnosed with extrapulmonary bleeding focusing on differences in etiology,

Case 1: A 63-year-old woman was referred for coughing blood. Although cardiorespiratory dynamics were stabilized by artificial respiration under sedation, severely poor ventilation developed from asphyxia associated with massive respiratory tract hemorrhage. One-lung ventilation was temporarily

Emergency pulmonary resection for hemoptysis during an episode of massive intrabronchial bleeding requires protection of the contraleteral lung from aspiration of blood. We describe a method of selective unilateral ventilation applied to 15 patients, without mortality attributable to this factor.

We describe 12 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who developed massive pulmonary hemorrhage with very active disease. Other causes of pulmonary bleeding were excluded. Eleven of the 12 patients died, but only 4 had hemoptysis. Massive pulmonary hemorrhage should be suspected, even in

A 45-year-old man presented with dyspnea and hemoptysis during exercise. A chest computed tomography (CT) revealed multifocal diffuse patchy ground glass opacity and interlobular septal thickening in both the lungs. Permeability pulmonary edema or pulmonary hemorrhage was suspected. Serologic

OBJECTIVE Hemoptysis in children is a rare but potentially life-threatening symptom of an underlying respiratory tract abnormality. Hemoptysis, when massive and untreated, has a mortality rate of more than 50%. With interventional radiological procedures and surgery, this rate has dropped to 7%-18%.

Hypertensive emergency, which occurs even in young adults, induces systemic organ damage and results in a poor prognosis. We herein report the case of a 27-year-old man who developed alveolar hemorrhaging with hypertensive emergency. He presented with bloody sputum, renal failure, and extremely high

BACKGROUND Regardless of its volume, hemoptysis is a concerning symptom. Mild hemoptysis and its significance in patients with solid malignancies has not been studied. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients with solid malignancies who presented for evaluation of mild

OBJECTIVE MDCT has improved the management of hemoptysis by providing more precise depiction of bronchial and nonbronchial systemic arteries than conventional CT. The purpose of this article is to review the role of MDCT in the identification of the bleeding site and the vessels causing

OBJECTIVE We examined the medical history, physical examination and chest radiography utility to accurately identifying the site of pulmonary bleeding in patients with hemoptysis. METHODS We prospectively reviewed and compared the suspected site of bleeding obtained with the medical history,

Hemoptysis is a rare complaint in the pediatric population. It is most commonly of infectious etiology and is rarely life threatening. However, there are rare life-threatening causes of pediatric hemoptysis, which should be included in the differential diagnoses of children presenting to the

Hemoptysis is a frightening symptom for patients and often is a manifestation of significant underlying disease. The chest radiograph, history and examination findings, comorbid illnesses, and demographic factors guide evaluation of patients with minor hemoptysis. Massive hemoptysis occurs in less
