The non-invasive management of clinically significant hemoptysis by bronchoscopy remains a therapeutic challenge. Various agents have been used endobronchially in order to control hemoptysis, such as cold saline, tranexamic acid, and epinephrine. This review summarizes all available data in that view, especially in resource limited settings, where more advanced means of controlling hemoptysis are not available.
