EPISTAXIS

dr. Rifki Zakaria, Sp. T.H.T.K.L


Literature Review
Anterior Epistaxis
NTRODUCTION

• Epistaxis is defined as acute haemorrhage from


within the nasal cavity including the nasopharynx.
• It is a common condition ranging in severity from a
single short-lived episode to a less common life-
threatening haemorrhage.
• The majority of cases are self-limiting and do not
require medical intervention.

McLarnon, 2015
EPIDEMIOLOGY

5-10% of the population experience an episode


of epistaxis each year. 10% of those will see a
physician.
The reported incidence of an episode during a
lifetime is approximately 60%

Management
Intial Management :
• ABC’s
• Medical history/Med
• Vital signs—need IV
• Physical exam
 Anterior rhinoscopy
 Endoscopic rhinoscopy
• Laboratory exam
• Radiologic studies

Porter, 2002
Management

1. Control active bleeding

2. Look for location and cause of bleeding

Penatalaksanaan dengan fibrin glue
Initial Management
• Application of direct pressure to the septal area
continuously for at least five minutes, and for up to 15
minutes.
• Tilting the head forward prevents blood from pooling in
the posterior pharynx, thereby avoiding nausea and
airway obstruction.
• Hemodynamic stability and airway patency
