Mohamed Bilal P I

INTRODUCTION Bleeding from nostril, nasal cavity or nasopharynx Most often self limited, but can often be serious and life threatening 5-10% of the population experience an episode of epistaxis each year, 10% of those will seek a physician and 1% of those will need a specialist Can occur in all age groups

REASON FOR EXCESSIVE BLEEDING Rich vascularity Supplied by both internal and external carotid system Various anastomoses between arteries and veins Blood vessels run under the mucosa unprotected Larger vessels on the turbinate run in bony canals – cannot contract

VASCULATURE OF NOSE Branches of internal carotid system :. Anterior Ethmoidal artery. Posterior ethmoidal artery Branches of external carotid system :. Sphenopalatine artery- major branch. Greater palatine artery. Superior labial branch of facial artery. Infraorbital branch of maxillary artery

KIESSELBACH’S PLEXUS (Little’s area) In anterior inferior part of nasal septum Most common site for epistaxis Mainly anterior epistaxis 1. septal br. Of sphenopalatine 2. Anterior ethmoidal 3. Septal br. Of superior labial 4. greater palatine arteries anastomose here

WOODRUFF’S PLEXUS Posterior end of middle turbinate Sphenopalatine artery anastomoses with posterior pharyngeal artery Most common site for posterior epistaxis

CLASSIFICATION Anterior Epistaxis. More common. Occurs in children and young adults. Usually due to nasal mucosal dryness. Alarming as bleeding seen readily but generally less severe Posterior Epistaxis. Usually older population. HTN and ASVD are the most common causes. Significant bleeding in posterior pharynx. More severe and treatment more challenging

LOCAL CAUSES OF EPISTAXIS A. Congenital – Hereditary telengiectasia B. Trauma. Nose picking. Facial and skull bone fractures. Foreign body. Iatrogenic trauma. Hard blowing, violent sneeze.

C. Inflammatory. Infective rhinitis D. Specific. Acute – Diphteria. Chronic granulomatous- TB, Leprosy, Syphilis, Rhinosporiodiasis

E. Non Specific. Viral – Common cold, Influenza. Bacterial – Secondary bacterial rhinitis sinusitis. Fungal rhinosinusitis. Atrophic rhinitis F. Physiological. High altitude. Extreme cold or hot climate

G. Neoplastic. Benign – Juvenile angiofibroma, angioma of septum, capillary and cavernous hemangioma. Malignant – SCC, Olfactory neuroblastoma, Nasopharyngeal carcinoma H. Miscellaneous. Deviated septum & spur. Rhinitis sicca. Spontaneous rupture of vessels. Rhinolith

SYSTEMIC CAUSES Hypertension- commonest Cardiac –CCF, Mitral stenosis Pulmonary –COPD Cirrhosis – Vitamin K deficiency Renal –Nephritis Drugs – Excessive use of salicylates, anticoagulants Coagulopathies – Clotting disorders bleeding disorders Agranulocytosis Leukemia Vitamin K deficiency Exanthematous fevers Hormonal – Vicarious Menstruation, endometriosis, granuloma gravidarum Idiopathic Causes

PATIENT HISTORY Previous bleeding episodes Onset, duration, frequency, amount of blood loss h/o trauma Family history of bleeding Hypertension Hepatic diseases Drug history Any other medical ailment

MANAGEMENT Locate the bleeding site Anterior and Posterior rh inoscopy Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy INVESTIGATIONS :. Hematological investigations – Hb%, TLC, DLC, BT, CT, Platelet count, prothrombin time. Blood urea, liver function tests. Radiology – x-ray and CT scan of nose, PNS and nasopharynx. Other investigations depending upon the possible cause

TREATMENT OF EPISTAXIS First aid. ABC. Trotter’s method- Make patient sit up, pinch the nose for 5-10 minutes. Head bent forward. Open mouth and breathe. Ice packs

DEFINITIVE TREATMENT CAUTERIZATION. Chemical cautery with Silver nitrate sticks, TCA (3%), Chromic acid bead. Electrocautery Vasoconstrictor sprays / anesthetics Anterior nasal packing or anterior epistaxis balloons for refractory epistaxis

ANTERIOR NASAL PACKING

METHODS OF INSERTING ANTERIOR NASAL PACK

NASAL SPONGE PACK/TAMPON

POSTERIOR NASAL PACKING If bleeding does not stop after anterior packing Posterior epistaxis

FOLEY’S CATHETER and EPISTAXIS BALLOON

COMPLICATIONS OF NASAL PACKING SEPTAL HAEMATOMA / ABSCESS SINUSITIS PRESSURE NECROSIS TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME NECROSIS OF ALA

PATIENTS ON NASAL PACK Best to place patient on antibiotics to decrease risk of sinusitis and toxic shock syndrome Advise patient to avoid straining, bending forward or removing pack early If other nostril is unpacked advise patient topical saline spray or saline gel to moisturize nasal mucosa Admitted and monitored in severe cases

OTHER TREATMENTS FOR REFRACTORY EPISTAXIS Greater palatine foramen block Septoplasty Endoscopic cauterization Internal maxillary artery ligation Transantral sphenopalatine artery ligation Intraoral ligation of maxillary artery Anterior and posterior ethmoid artery ligation Selective embolisation External carotid artery ligation
