Join Nick & Cyrus as they talk with Dr. Whittney Warren - an intensivist and interventional pulmonologist - who walks us through her pragmatic approach to life-threatening hemoptysis. What medications can we use to stabilize these patients? How would we go about intubating such a patient? What bronchoscopic tools do we have at our disposal?
