Epistaxis remains one of the most common otolaryngology emergencies. Despite considerable interest in the subject, there is still no consensus on the most appropriate primary therapeutic modality.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bleeding source of acute or recurrent epistaxis in adults.
Clinical prospective.
Thirty adults patients with acute or recurrent epistaxis were evaluated through the use of frontal light and endoscope for identification of the bleeding source in the nasal cavity.
Use of the nasal endoscope allowed diagnosis of the bleeding site in all patients.
A careful examination of the posterior nasal cavity allows identification of the bleeding source in most patients and should be a routine procedure.
鼻出血仍然是最常见的耳鼻喉科急症之一。尽管对该主题有相当大的兴趣，但对于最合适的主要治疗方式仍未达成共识。
本研究的目的是评估成人急性或复发性鼻出血的出血来源。
临床前瞻性研究。
通过使用额镜和内窥镜对30例成人急性或复发性鼻出血患者进行评估，以确定鼻腔内的出血来源。
使用鼻内窥镜能够诊断所有患者的出血部位。
仔细检查鼻腔后部可在大多数患者中确定出血来源，应作为常规程序。
