Knowledge of the basic anatomy of the nasopharynx and a few hemostatic strategies are reassuring in the face of acute hemorrhage. This topic discusses epistaxis in adults. Epistaxis in children is reviewed separately. (See "Evaluation of epistaxis in children" and "Management of epistaxis in children".)

2005年1月15日 · Treatments to be considered include topical vasoconstriction, chemical cautery, electrocautery, nasal packing (nasal tampon or gauze impregnated with petroleum jelly), posterior gauze...

2023年5月26日 · This activity reviews the indications and contraindications of anterior nasal packing, outlines the procedural technique for several commercially available nasal packing modalities, and discusses care in the immediate postprocedural period.

2024年6月19日 · Rhino rocket insertion is a medical procedure used to control severe nosebleeds, or epistaxis, by placing a specialized nasal tamponade device into the nasal cavity. The process begins with the patient being seated in an upright position with their head slightly forward to prevent blood from draining into the throat.

2023年3月1日 · Posterior nasal packing is performed to achieve hemostasis in cases of epistaxis from a suspected source located posteriorly in the nasal cavity. Packing is generally performed in the emergency department, commonly using balloon catheters.

The balloon allows for a pressurized tamponade of the nasal vessels and the covering theoretically allows for improved ease of insertion and removal as well as hemostasis. Prior to application, device must be soaked with sterile water (H2O, not saline).

Anterior epistaxis (nasal hemorrhage) can often be controlled by nasal packing of the involved area. Epistaxis may be due to bleeding from the anterior or posterior nasal passage. Anterior epistaxis may be treated with digital compression by applying firm sustained compression of the lower one third of the nose for 15 full minutes.

2023年12月11日 · Nasal packing is a procedure used in cases of epistaxis that do not resolve with first-aid measures or where nasal cautery has failed or is impossible due to heavy bleeding. Nasal packing is an uncomfortable procedure but is highly effective at stopping bleeding.

Study objective: Nasal tampons are commonly used to stop bleeding, yet their insertion is painful. We compare the pain of insertion and removal of 2 commonly used nasal tampons. Methods: This was a prospective randomized controlled trial in 1 urban and …
