epistaxis DEPARTMENT OF OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY – HEAD&NECK SURGERY PADJADJARAN UNIVERSITY/ HASAN SADIKIN HOSPITAL BANDUNG
INTRODUCTION • EPISTAXIS Any bleeding from the nose caused by haemostatic disturbance • Haemostatic abnormality • Mucous abnormality • Vascular pathology • Coagulation disorders
EPIDEMIOLOGY • Prevalens: 7% - 14%. Recurrence 4%. • Age : < 10 , > 35 • Based on source of bleeding : • Anterior epistaxis esp. child – young adult • Posterior epistaxis old age • Cold climate and low humidity >> DRYNESS
ANATOMY • A. CarotisEksterna • A. Maksilaris • A. Fasialis • A. CarotisInterna • A. Oftalmika A. Ethmoidales anterior & posterior
CLASSIFICATION • Anterior epistaxis: • occurs primarily in the Little’s area (Kiesselbah’s plexus) and more often venous in origin. • Posterior epistaxis: • primarily in the region of the posterior septum, • posterior lateral nasal wall (Woodruff’s nasopharyngeal plexus) & posterior septum • more often arterial in origin
ETIOLOGY LOCAL SYStEMIC Hypertension Vascular disorders Blood dyscrasias Hematologic malignancies Allergies Malnutrition Alcohol Drugs (aspirin, etc) Liver / renal disease • Trauma: digital, fractures • Nasal sprays • Inflammatory reactions • Anatomic deformities • Foreign bodies • Intranasal tumors • Chemical inhalants • Nasal prong O2, CPAP • Surgery
EVALUATION • INITIAL : COMPRESSION OF THE NOSTRIL (5-20 MIN) • PLUGGING WITH GAUZE OR COTTON SOAKED IN TOPICAL ANESTHETIC – DECONGESTAN • TILTING HEAD FORWARD PREVENTS POOLING BLOOD TO POSTERIOR PHARYNX AVOIDING NAUSEA & OBSTRUCTION • SECURING HEMODYNAMIC STABILITY & AIRWAY PATENCY FLUID RESUSCITATION
EVALUATION • NO RESPOND LOCATE THE SOURCE OF BLEEDING : ANTERIOR RHINOSCOPY / NASOENDOSCOPY • WITH PROPER LIGHT SOURCE & INSTRUMENT • SELF PROTECTION • REDUCE THE ANXIETY • A THROUGH HISTORY SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH ATTENTION TO DURATION, FREQUENCY, SEVERITY FAMILY HISTORY / BLEEDING DISORDER?
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION • General status • Local status Determine : • - Anterior or posterior • - Other stigmata
MANAGEMENT AIMED • Stop the bleeding • Avoid complication • Avoid recurrence • Most anterior epistaxis self limited • Controlled by pinching ala nasi 5 – 20 min
MANAGEMENT • Minor Hemorrhage stop spontaneously pediatric population, > 64% having experienced epistaxis Silver nitratcautery Electric cautery Anterior nasal packing Removed after 20 men Antiseptic cream Barrier agent
Major Hemorrhage • Emergency active epistaxis • Anterior bleeders • ant nasal pack or • cautery • Posterior bleeders • post nasal pack • arterial ligation or • embolization • is performed Ensure adequate iv access & resuscitation • Blood cloots out of • his or her nose • Explore with speculum • or nasal endoscopy • and suction
MANAGEMENT • DIFFUSE / OOZING, MULTIPLE BLEEDING SITE OR RECURRENT BLLEDING INDICATE SYSTEMIC PROCESS HEMATOLOGIC EVALUATION
MANAGEMENT NASAL PACKING POSTERIOR • BELLOCQ TAMPON • FOLEY CATHETER • BALLOON PACK
SURGERY • LIGATION • A. ETHMOIDALES ANTERIOR • A. MAXILLARIS • A. SPHENOPALATINA • A. CAROTID EXTERNA • EMBOLIZATION • SEPTAL DERMOPLASTY, SEPTOPLASTY
AVOID COMPLICATION COMPLICATION AVOIDANCE IV FLUID MONITOR O2 LIMITED CAUTERY, PROPER PACK SIZE STABILIZATION PACKING WITHOUT CONTACT WITH ALAR / COLUMELLA ADEQUATE PLACEMENT & SECURING NASAL PACKS PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS • HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK • APNEA, HYPOXIA • SEPTAL PERFORATION • ALAR RIM, COLUMELLA NECROSIS, LASERATION PALATUM MOLLE / LIPS • ASPIRATION • RECALCITRANT BLEEDING • INFECTION
AVOID RECURRENCE • Patient education Avoidance of digital manipulation,airborne irritants, dander, smoke • Keep the nose moist • Control of allergies • Tappering amount of nasal spray • Intranasal surgical technical refinements
SUMMARY • GOOD EVALUATION & HISTORY PREPARATION & PLANNING • PROPER INSTRUMENTATION • DON’T PANIC ! • MANAGEMENT : CONSERVATIVE, COMFORTABLE, IF FAILED SURGERY • AVOID COMPLICATION FROM BLEEDING & OR MANAGMENT
No Procedures Performance Scale LEARNING GUIDE: ANTERIOR NASAL PACKING PROCEDURE 0 1 2 3 Preparation 1 Greet the patient respect fully and with kindness introduce yourself. 2 The patient should be given adequate explanation about examinations. 3 Explain the goals or the expected result examination. Check the instrument& material. Procedures 4 Hold the nasal speculum with one hand and then put in on the left or right nostril 5 Holt it with the thumb on the joint, the index finger free to steady it on the patient’s nose and the rest of the fingers on the stem proper to hold the speculum
6 Always try to open the stem or times in an upward action and not down into the floor or the nose. The good view of the nose anteriorly can be obtained simply by pressing on the tip of the nose 7 Topical anesthesia can be administered in order to decreasing discomfort, the risk of apnea, bradycardia, and hypotension by blocking the nasal-vagal reflex. A pledget or cotton swab soaked in 1 % pantocaine or lidocaine solution (with or without containing 1-2 drops of an epinephrine solution dilutes 1:1,000) is placed in the nose for 3-5 minutes 8 The traditional anterior pack petrolatum gauze (0.5 x 72 inch) coated with an antibacterial ointment is firmly packed into the nasal cavity
9 The packing is placed in a methodical (layering) fashion toward the posterior choana, starting at the nasal floor and packing up to about the level middle turbinate. It is possible to put a large amount into each side 10 Great care must be taken that : -The pack does not rub on the columella, which is easily traumatized -The free and of the packing should not be visible in the oropharynx behind the soft palate as this can lead to irritation, and also a danger that this portion might slip deeper into the aerodigestive tract and cause complication
11 Once the gauze is firmly packed properly into the nasal cavity: -The patient should be admitted and kept under careful observation -Give the patient humidifies oxygen and sedate with caution and only with reversible agents -As the pack will be left in for at least 48 hours, put the patient on a board-spectrum antibiotic -Establish an intravenous line, and cross-match the blood
