Chapter 30 - Two minutes to midnight: Critical overview of hemoptysis

Dr. Dagny Anderson, a specialist in the division of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Mayo Clinic, joins Alex and Venk to talk about both life threatening hemoptysis and non-lifethreatening hemoptysis. In this chapter we review what we need to be doing in the emergency department, while also shedding light on what our teammates in other specialties can offer the patients downstream. Join for this colorful journey of how to manage the situation when no one likes what is coming out of the patient's mouth.
