Dr. Shaik Md Shaabaaz

Abstract :

Hemoptysis is a common and potentially life threatening complaint it is a important and alarming symptom and often indicates a serious disease (coughing of blood from glottis).Hemoptysis is the expectoration of blood coming from tracheoonchial tree (or) pulmonary parenchyma. The major causes include onchitis, primary (or) metastatic cancer, autoimmune disorders, pulmonary infection and cardiac etiologies.Diagniostic evaluation frequently involves in computed tomography (CT) of chest and invasive procedure such as onchoscopy to indentify severe complications. The lung cancer, onchiectosis, onchitis and pneumonia are the leading cause of hemoptysis in the cohort studies. Moderate to evaluate hemoptysis while onchitis and lung cancer are commonly assessed with milder degrees of bleeding. The mortality rate patients with mild to moderate of hemoptysis was low at(2.5% and 6% respectively).the mortality rate is high in massive hemoptysis(heavy) patient is (38%).the tuberculosis is reported as a important cause of hemoptysis. The high prevalence of hemoptysis is seen in Africa, inner city of new York and tiger–berg (south African) countries. It may be massive (more than 600 ml in 24 hrs) which can be dangerous to the life. Pulmonary tuberculosis remains number one cause of hemoptysis in developing countries. CT scan chest and onchoscopy can give most of information in the patient. The endoonchial technique like ice cold saline lavage,balloon tamponade and onchial artery.Embolization have been devised to temporarily to control hemoptysis. Newer technique of physiological lung exclusion has given more information
