Abstract This simulated case details a frequent and usually benign complaint, a cough, which becomes a very difficult situation, massive hemoptysis requiring intentional mainstem intubation. This resource includes the simulated case narrative along with case debriefing. The case is designed to instruct medical students and residents in the management and stabilization of patients with massive hemoptysis. This simulation is intended to improve understanding and competence in the management of a potentially life-threatening clinical scenario.
