A critical hemoptysis that could have killed him. Breathing interventions can bring him back to life.

Hemoptysis is one of the most common clinical emergencies in internal medicine, which is easy to be complicated by asphyxia or hemorrhagic shock, and the mortality rate is extremely high. Recently, the interventional team of Respiratory Medicine Department of Shandong Qianfoshan Hospital, under the guidance of Dr. Zhang Caiqin, used electronic bronchoscopy to diagnose and intervene in a case of hemoptysis in a timely manner, and successfully removed a huge bronchial dendritic thrombus in the bronchial tubes of the middle lobe of the right lung, which saved the patient’s life. Wang Ji-wang, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital, Shandong Province, China Zhang Caiqin, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Qianfoshan Hospital, Shandong Province, China The patient was a middle-aged woman with hemoptysis for more than 10 days. At first, there was blood in sputum, but later there was fresh blood in the whole mouth with blood clots, and the amount of hemoptysis gradually increased. After receiving the patient in the outpatient clinic, Dr. Ning Kang, Chief Physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, carefully studied her condition and decided to perform an electronic bronchoscopy immediately to identify the site of bleeding. Under the guidance of Director Zhang Caiqin of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, the interventional team of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, including Li Hongjia, Chen Fangfang, Gao Mingxia and other healthcare professionals, worked together to directly locate the site of hemorrhage in the airway through the electronic bronchoscopy and quickly stop the hemorrhage, and then successfully removed a huge bronchial dendritic thrombus in the bronchial tubes in the middle lobe of the right lungs of the patient, which relieved the patient’s pain of hemoptysis and saved the patient’s life. Our respiratory department is a young and flourishing department, the respiratory cavity intervention team is mainly composed of young and middle-aged physicians, in recent years, under the guidance and leadership of Zhang Caiqin, director of our respiratory department, the cavity intervention diagnosis and treatment technology has made a rapid development, and it is in the leading position in Shandong Province, Zhang Caiqin, director of the respiratory department, has always attached great importance to the team building, in the cavity operating table, hand in hand to young physicians to teach the interventional technology, and the operation standardization of young and middle-aged physicians.
