The diagnosis of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations in patients remains a diagnostic challenge to the emergency physician. Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are abnormal direct connections that shunt unoxygenated blood from pulmonary arteries to pulmonary veins, resulting in hypoxia. They
Massive hemoptysis is an alarming event in which asphyxiation due to aspiration of blood is the main threat. The differential diagnosis taking into consideration a wide range of potential causes is required, and in 5% to 20% of cases, the reason for bleeding is never established. Hypoxemia and
A 83-year-old healthy female with no past medical history presented with persistent hemoptysis and respiratory failure. She was found to have a tracheal bronchus on bronchoscopy. Patient underwent pulmonary lavage and sterile irrigation. Patient was stable, but developed excessive hemoptysis which
Massive hemoptysis represents a life-threatening disorder due to different etiologies. Development of recombinant factor concentrates allows for novel treatments in this emergent setting. We present a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension who underwent pulmonary
OBJECTIVE
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) are major mediators of angiogenesis and are induced by tissue inflammation and hypoxia. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether serum VEGF and Ang-2 are associated with the presence of hemoptysis and the
A 29-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a 7-day history of elevated temperature to 39.5 degrees C associated with headache and nausea. She had been diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex 10 years earlier. Her unconsciousness progressed, and she was diagnosed as having aseptic
In children, post-obstructive pulmonary edema is a rare condition, caused by a sudden change in upper airway patency. It causes dyspnea, tachypnea, hypoxemia, and at times hemoptysis and respiratory insufficiency. It occurs as a complication in the immediate post-operative period. Pediatricians
Massive hemoptysis can have a rapid and potentially fatal clinical course. A 68-year-old woman presented with recurrent hemoptysis complicated by refractory hypoxemia and shock despite aggressive intervention. The use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was a nontraditional
BACKGROUND Patent foramen ovale (PFO) are common, normally resulting in a left-to-right shunt or no net shunting. Pulmonary embolism (PE) can cause sustained increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and right atrial pressure. Increasing positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) improves
Hemoptysis, a common sign of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, can be caused by multiple factors, both infectious and noninfectious. A 45-year-old male with hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and stage IV pulmonary sarcoidosis with cardiac involvement, presented with a two-month history of cough and
Hemoptysis in pregnancy is rare and can be life-threatening. This case describes management of hemoptysis in pregnancy requiring veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). The patient presented with massive hemoptysis in respiratory failure at 26 weeks gestation. VV-ECMO was utilized
An 18-year-old man presented to a community emergency department with increasing shortness of breath and fever. His condition was diagnosed, and he was treated as an inpatient for bilateral pneumonia associated with hypoxemia. When his condition became worse, he acknowledged to deliberate inhalation
Massive hemoptysis (MH) has a high mortality rate. Therapeutic options include bronchoscopy for endobronchial lesions, bronchial artery embolization (BAE), and emergency surgery. Scant options exist for patients who are not candidates for these modalities. Culprit bronchial segment OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to describe a single institutional experience with pediatric diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage, with an emphasis on etiology, clinical course, and outcome.
METHODS
