A survey of 500 members of the public was carried out in which they were asked how they would deal with a nose bleed. Only 50 out of 443 responses were judged as being correct, confirming a clinical impression, long held by those dealing with epistaxis, that there is a high level of ignorance as to the correct first aid treatment. The survey also suggested that the lack of knowledge was not confined to the general public but evident in those trained in healthcare.
对500名公众进行了一项调查，询问他们如何处理鼻出血。在443份回复中，只有50份被判定为正确，这证实了处理鼻出血的人员长期以来的临床印象，即对于正确的急救处理存在高度的无知。该调查还表明，知识的缺乏不仅限于普通公众，在接受过医疗保健培训的人员中也很明显。
