Medical Definition of hemoptysis. plural. hemoptyses. \-ËsÄz\play. : expectoration of blood from some part of the respiratory tract.
hemoptysis varies from 200 mL to 1000 mL/24 h in the literature,4,5 but most authors adopt 600 mL/24 h empirically to define hemoptysis in reported case stud-ies.6 Severe hypoxemia reportedly may occur with the presence of only 400 mL of blood in the alveolar space.7 The most frequent etiologies of hemoptysis in the United States are chronic inflammatory lung diseases and bronchogenic carcinoma, while tuberculosis re-mains the leading cause of hemoptysis in third world countries.8,9 Most commonly encountered causes of massive hemoptysis are listed in the Table. Therapeutic options depend on the etiology of hemoptysis.
