Improvising a Posterior Nasal Pack with Equipment in a Basic First Aid Kit Allison K. Royer, MD, Mark C. Royer, MD Wilderness & Environmental Medicine Volume 27, Issue 3, Pages 393-396 (September 2016) DOI: 10.1016/j.wem.2016.06.001 Copyright © 2016 Wilderness Medical Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Anatomical model used for nasal packing training (NC, right nasal cavity; F, frontal sinus; S, sphenoid sinus; MT, middle turbinate; IT, inferior turbinate; MA, maxillary antrum; NP, nasopharynx; ET, Eustachian tube opening). Arrow shows direction of packing insertion. Wilderness & Environmental Medicine 2016 27, 393-396DOI: (10.1016/j.wem.2016.06.001) Copyright © 2016 Wilderness Medical Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 Preparation of posterior nasal pack from first aid supplies. Three Q-tips are fashioned into a 7.5 cm length rigid support (A,B). Eight standard adhesive bandages are used to secure the Q-tips and increase diameter (C). A nonadherent dressing is wrapped around the rigid support (D) and triple antibiotic added along the length of the packing (E). The completed improvised nasal pack is shown (F).
