Ninja Nerds!
Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Hemoptysis. We will be going into detail on the following main objectives:

1. Definition and Classification of Hemoptysis
- Understand what constitutes hemoptysis and how it differs from other presentations like hematemesis.
- Familiarize yourself with classifications based on severity: mild, moderate, and massive hemoptysis.

2. Pathophysiology and Etiologies
- Delve into the underlying causes and mechanisms that can lead to hemoptysis, ranging from respiratory infections to malignancies and vascular anomalies.
- Understand the pathways of bleeding and how they relate to the various etiologies.

3. Clinical Manifestations and Presentation
- Learn to recognize the signs and symptoms that commonly accompany hemoptysis.
- Discuss the potential indicators of severity and urgency, such as volume of blood expectorated and accompanying respiratory distress.

4. Diagnostic Criteria and Tools
- Understand the role and interpretation of various diagnostic modalities, including chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and bronchoscopy.
- Familiarize yourself with the latest guidelines for diagnosing the underlying cause of hemoptysis.

5. Initial Management Strategies
- Discuss evidence-based approaches for the initial stabilization of patients, including airway management and hemodynamic stabilization.
- Learn about the utility of medications like anticoagulants and vasoconstrictors in specific scenarios.

6. Definitive Management Approaches
- Examine the options for definitive treatment, such as bronchial artery embolization, surgical resection, and targeted therapy for underlying conditions.
- Evaluate the risks and benefits of each approach based on the latest research and guidelines.

7. Complications and Prognosis
- Understand the potential complications that can arise from untreated or improperly managed hemoptysis.
- Discuss prognostic indicators and factors that may influence outcomes, including underlying diseases and comorbidities.
