title: [Re-estimation on the role of artificial pneumoperitoneum in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis haemoptysis].
abstract: The response of 150 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis haemoptysis treated by artificial pneumoperitoneum, when they failed to the regular hemostatic drugs, is analysed. The data showed that 101 cases (67.3%), got favorable results, and there was less effective (24.3%) in 35 patients; only 14 cases (9.3%) failed. Thus the total response rate was 90.6%. The conclusion is that artificial pneumoperitoneum is a rather safe, simple economic and effective method in treatment for hemoptysis of pulmonary to tuberculosis.
