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 minor and resolve spontaneously; predicting which individual will develop massive, large-volume bleeding is difficult. Determining the cause and treatment of hemoptysis requires a multidisciplinary approach.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1166532603 ER -
