Post-operative hemorrhage is the most serious and life-threatening complication of tonsillectomy. A medical records review was conducted of patients who underwent a tonsillectomy with or without an adenoidectomy over a five year period at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. This quality assurance project aimed to examine the incidence, etiology, contributing factors, and management of primary vs. secondary postoperative hemorrhage at this 100-bed tertiary care facility. The findings of this retrospective review parallel those published from other centers. This paper will discuss findings and implications for otorhinolaryngology nursing practice.
术后出血是扁桃体切除术最严重且危及生命的并发症。对在纽约眼耳医院接受了扁桃体切除术（无论是否同时进行腺样体切除术）的患者进行了为期五年的病历回顾。这个质量保证项目旨在研究这家拥有100张床位的三级护理机构中原发性与继发性术后出血的发生率、病因、促成因素及处理方法。这项回顾性研究的结果与其他中心发表的结果相似。本文将讨论研究结果以及对耳鼻喉科护理实践的启示。
