==Definition==
'''For hemoptysis chapter, click [[Hemoptysis|here]].'''
Hemoptysis is the expectoration of blood from the respiratory system.
 
{{CMG}}; {{AE}}{{TSA}}
 
==Overview==
[[Hemoptysis]] is the medical term for expectorating [[blood]] from the [[trachea]], [[larynx]], [[bronchi]] or [[lungs]]. It can be confused with [[hematemesis]]. There are many causes for hemoptysis including [[bronchiectasis]], [[Respiratory tract infection|respiratory infections]], [[Iatrogenesis|iatrogenic]]. Massive hemoptysis can be a life-threatening condition and should be treated immediately.

===Life Threatening Causes===
===Life Threatening Causes===
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. Hemoptysis may be a life-threatening condition depending on the severity of bleeding and must be treated as such irrespective of the causes.
* Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.  
 
* Hemoptysis may be a life-threatening condition depending on the severity of [[bleeding]] and must be treated as such irrespective of the causes.

Overview

Hemoptysis is the medical term for expectorating blood from the trachea, larynx, bronchi or lungs. It can be confused with hematemesis. There are many causes for hemoptysis including bronchiectasis, respiratory infections, iatrogenic. Massive hemoptysis can be a life-threatening condition and should be treated immediately.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

  • Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
  • Hemoptysis may be a life-threatening condition depending on the severity of bleeding and must be treated as such irrespective of the causes.

Management of Massive Hemoptysis

The algorithm is based on the Society of Critical Care Medicine Journal of clinical assessment and management of massive hemoptysis. [6]

❑ Signs of hypovolemia: [8]

  • Postural pulse increment of > 30 beats/min
  • Supine tachycardia (>100 beats/min)
  • Supine hypotension

❑ Symptoms of hypovolemia:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
❑ Monitor patient in the intensive care unit

❑ Secure airway permeability to avoid aspiration

❑ Place patient in lateral decubit towards site of bleeding (if only one lung is bleeding)

❑ Right away transfuse O- positive blood type.

❑ If the patient has a life-threatening hemoptysis and/or a hypovolemic shock and/or hypoxemia; intubate with a 8-mm or larger endotracheal tube to allow subsequent bronchoscopy.[9] [10]

Do's

  • Investigate profusely the patient's medical history for possible diagnosis.
  • Intubate patient with massive hemoptysis to protect airway. [11]
  • Determine volume and rate of blood. [12]
  • Supply all patients with oxygen to maintain oxyhemoglobin saturation.[13]
  • Place the patient with massive hemoptysis in lateral decubit towards side of bleeding (if bleeding is located in one lung). [14]
  • Treat massive hemoptysis in a ICU. [15]
  • Place patient in isolation when tuberculosis is suspected, until the septum is analysed. [16]
