概要 | AIM:This study reviews our clinical experience of patients with epistaxis and discusses proper management.PATIENTS AND METHODS:We retrospectively investigated 1,515 patients with epistaxis treated in our department between 2005 and 2010.RESULTS:Men over 50 years old predominated. More than half of the patients (n = 828) first visited after consultation hours,RESULTS:and 40% (n = 606) were brought by ambulance. The most common underlying diseases were circulatory diseases (69%, n = 1,047). Antithrombotics were being administered to 23% (n = 345). Kiesselbach's plexus was the most commonly observed bleeding site (51%, n = 769). In 20% (n = 297), no bleeding point was confirmed because hemostasis had been achieved on arrival. Anterior packing was the most common primary treatment, followed by electrocauterization. Hospitalization was required in 2% (n = 30). Re-bleeding occurred within 14 days after primary treatment in 14% (n = 206). Surgical treatment was performed for 5% (n = 11).CONCLUSIONS:Patients showing repeated pulsatile arterial bleeding require hospitalization for surgical therapy, although outpatient therapy is sufficient in most cases. A risk of re-bleeding should be considered if patients show unclarified bleeding points and circulatory diseases. |
