PY - 2016 T2 - Tintinalli’s Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 8e AB - Hemoptysis is the expectoration of blood from the lungs or tracheobronchial tree. Severity ranges from mild to severe, and it can be difficult to stop. The challenge is to stabilize the patient while simultaneously determining the source and providing treatment. Most cases of hemoptysis are mild and resolve spontaneously; predicting which individual will develop large-volume bleeding is difficult. Determining the cause, location, and extent of hemoptysis requires a multidisciplinary approach.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/18 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1121514232 ER -
