[The clinical observation of nasal packing with rhino rapid nasal dressing with gel knit].

OBJECTIVE

To explore the value of using Rapid Nasal Dressing with Gel Knit in the patients with the postoperative nasal cavity and sinuses or severe epistaxis.

METHOD

A comparative study was carried out for the clinical effects of traditional Vaseline gauze with that of Rhino Rapid Nasal Dressing with Gel Knit as nasal packing materials, through a valuation on the patient discomfort with headache and control of postoperative bleeding and ease of removal.

RESULT

There was a significant difference in headache during the period of packing and removal between two groups (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the volume of bleeding during the 24 hours packing (P > 0.05), but there was one time during removal (P < 0.01), and it was also more ease of removal than that of the group with Vaseline gauze (P < 0.01 ).
