Abstract

The expectoration of blood is always a fearful experience for the patient and a matter of grave concern to the attending physician, because it may be the warning sign of serious diseases. When such bleeding occurs, the possibility of its being due to pulmonary tuberculosis, bronchiectasis or carcinoma of the lung is promptly suggested. Nowadays, with the advance of modern diagnostic studies, differential diagnosis has become possible for the hemoptysis patients to have appropriate treatment. This evaluation is based on the review of 75 cases of patients whom we performed emergency open thoracotomies for 6 years from March 1992 to February 1997 in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul Adventist Hospital. The mean age of the patients was 36.6 years old with a range from 19 to 68, and most prevalent age group was thirties. The most common underlying lung disease causin hemoptysis was tuberculosis(44%). Most accurate diagnostic study was bronchoscopy during hemoptysis(95 Vo) and right middle & lower lobe(17.3%) was the most common site of lesion. Lobectomy(50%) was the most frequent operative method and recurrent hemoptysis(31.6%) was the most common postoperative complication. But most of the patients(82.6%) were completely recovered by surgical treatment. Now we concluded that the proper management of hemoptysis was completed by surgical approach with definite diagnosis and supportive medication.

객혈은 항상 환자들에게는 두려운 경험이고 담당 의사에게는 고심거리가 되고 있는데 이는 객혈 자체가 심각한 질환의 징후로 나타나는 경우가 많기 때문이다. 그러한 출혈이 있을 때에는 폐결핵이나 기관지확장 증 또는 폐암의 가능성을 즉시 생각해 보아야 하겠지만,오늘날 진보된 진단방법으로 인해 객혈환자의 감별 진단이 가능해 졌고 적절한 치료를 받을 수 있게 되었다. 본 연구는 1992년 3월부터 1997년 2월까지 6년간 서을 위생병원 흉부외과에서 객혈로 인해 응급 개흉술을 시행받은 75명의 환자를 대상으로 이루어 졌다. 환자의 연령은 19세부터 68세까지로 평균연령은 36.6세였고 가장 호발한 연령층은 30대 였다. 객혈유발의 가장 흔한 질환은 결착(44%)이었고, 병소부위를 가장 정확하게 진단할 수 있었던 검사는 객혈시의 기관지경 검사로 95%의 환자에서 병소부위를 밝힐 수 있었으며, 우중엽 및 하엽(17.3%)이 가장 흔한 병소 부위였다. 가장 많이 선택된 수술 방법은 폐엽절제술(50%)이었으며, 객혈의 재발(31.6%)이 가장 흔한 술후 합병증이었다. 수술후 환자의 예후는 82.6%에서 완전회복을 보였다. 저자들은 위의 결과를 통하여 객혈환자의 적절한 치료는 정확한 진단, 약물 보조치료와 더불어 외과적 치 료방법으로 완료됨을 알 수 있었다.
