Social Sciences - Medical (general) / cause of death
Czech term or phrase: na pliti krve
In an 1843 death record for a 55-year-old man in northeastern Bohemia, it was written that he died "na pliti krwe [=krve]." What would be the best way to translate this phrase? I'm unsure... spitting up blood? coughing up blood? vomiting blood? All of these have specific connotations in English, but I'm not sure which is most accurate.

Hemoptysis
Explanation:

MASSIVE HEMOPTYSIS
The mortality rate from massive hemoptysis depends on the bleeding rate and etiology. Hemoptysis greater than 1,000 mL per 24 hours in the presence of malignancy carries a mortality rate of 80 percent30; therefore, massive hemoptysis warrants a more aggressive, expedient approach. These patients require intensive care and early consultation with a pulmonologist. In cases of massive or life-threatening hemoptysis, diagnosis and therapy must occur simultaneously. Airway maintenance is vital because the primary mechanism of death is asphyxiation, not exsanguination. Supplemental oxygen and fluid resuscitation are essential. Assistance by a cardiothoracic surgeon should be considered because emergency surgical intervention may be needed.

spitting [but see below]


Explanation:
After consulting Etymoogicky slovnik jazyka ceskeho] Etymological dictionary, I am sure of the literal ltranslation, however, for your purpose I would suggest "spouting blood" because of a) etymological connection of spitting and vomiting and b) that condition (spouting) is probably what was being reported. Few people die of spitting ...
