Sažetak
Haemoptysis is coughing blood or bloody sputum. The bleeding point could be the larynx, trachea, bronchi, lung parenchyma. Blood coughing requires immediate examination by a pulmology specialist and provided care. During the year 2010 at emergency reception of the Clinic for Pulmonary Diseases of Split Clinical Hospital Centre, 123 patients with haemoptysis were examined. Fifty patients were hospitalized and their cases were evaluated. Haemoptysis appeared more often in elderly men during May. Standard chest radiography was performed in 80 percent of the hospitalized patients. Systolic arterial blood pressure values equal or higher than 180 mmHg were measured in five patients.
Microbiological analysis showed normal findings in 83.3 percent of cases. The cause of the bleeding was seen during bronchoscopy in 57 percent of the patients. Pneumonia with 31% and lung cancer with 15% were the leading causes of haemoptysis, while other causes were sporadic.
