Massive haemoptysis is rare but associated with a high mortality. Even in a major regional cardiothoracic centre only one or two cases will be seen annually. As a consequence, no consensus about its investigation and management has emerged, with the result that much time may be lost on inappropriate investigation and treatment may be misdirected.
大量咯血虽罕见但死亡率高。即便在大型地区心胸中心,每年也仅能见到一两个病例。因此,对于其检查和治疗尚未形成共识,结果可能在不恰当的检查上浪费大量时间,治疗也可能出现偏差。
