Massive haemoptysis is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate and systematic management. Initial steps should focus on airway stabilisation, haemodynamic support and rapid identification of the bleeding source. Due to the complexity in diagnosis and management, along with a high associated mortality rate, massive haemoptysis offers an excellent opportunity for simulation training. Herein we present a simulated case of massive haemoptysis in a hospitalised patient. The scenario is crafted to help learners develop proficiency in the rapid recognition and multidisciplinary management of this high-risk condition, with an emphasis on airway protection and haemodynamic stabilisation. The script is widely adaptable across institutions and medical disciplines, and customisable to the needs of diverse learner populations.

Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
