Abstract
Pulmonary haemorrhage is a potentially life-threatening condition with a variety of causes. Quality clinical trials are insufficient in children, restricting the evidence base to observational data and adult studies. The overall management strategy should address control of symptomatic bleeding, identification of the bleeding source, and treatment of the underlying cause. Flexible bronchoscopy is an important tool used to identify the cause and site of bleeding, do interventional procedures, and directly instil medications to affected areas. Medications to control bleeding include vasoconstrictors, antifibrinolytics, and recombinant factor VIIa. Definitive treatment often requires immunomodulatory medications, bronchial artery embolisation, or surgery. In this Review, we summarise the most recent evidence pertaining to medical, interventional, and surgical treatments of pulmonary haemorrhage in children.
期刊介绍:
The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, an independent journal with a global perspective and strong clinical focus, presents influential original research, authoritative reviews, and insightful opinion pieces to promote the health of children from fetal development through young adulthood.
This journal invite submissions that will directly impact clinical practice or child health across the disciplines of general paediatrics, adolescent medicine, or child development, and across all paediatric subspecialties including (but not limited to) allergy and immunology, cardiology, critical care, endocrinology, fetal and neonatal medicine, gastroenterology, haematology, hepatology and nutrition, infectious diseases, neurology, oncology, psychiatry, respiratory medicine, and surgery.
Content includes articles, reviews, viewpoints, clinical pictures, comments, and correspondence, along with series and commissions aimed at driving positive change in clinical practice and health policy in child and adolescent health.
