1/3 - Hemoptysis - the Arc
Not all hemoptysis is hemoptysis.
Blood per mouth could be from the upper airway or the GI tract.
Not all hemoptysis is created equally.
Massive hemoptysis is whole different Dx and Rx world.

2/3 -
True hemoptysis represents an abnormal connection between the airway and the blood vessels.
Filter your DDx by the origin of the lesion
Airway --> mass
Vascular --> PE
Bronchitis is the most common cause.

What if the hemoptysis is massive?
(Don't get up in the #s - if your patient can't keep up with the tissues, it's massive)
Rx takes center stage and Dx spotlight narrows.

Woops - forget to attached the correct schema for massive hemoptysis.
