Dr. R. K. Panda, Dr Chandra Dev Sahu, Dr. Ravish Kumar

Abstract :

Despite continued technologic progress, including advances in medical imaging, hemoptysis remains an important clinical and potentially grave condition. Any hemorrhage resulting in compromise of pulmonary or hemodynamic status should be considered substantial necessitating therapeutic intervention. The management of life–threatening hemoptysis demands a well–integrated, multidisciplinary approach.
