Emergency nurses must recognize significant blood loss from epistaxis (nosebleeds). Vigilance for respiratory distress and shock symptoms, alongside specialist consultation and vital sign monitoring, is crucial for patient safety and management.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Epistaxis can lead to substantial blood loss, often underestimated in emergency settings.
  • Prompt recognition of potential complications is vital for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight critical considerations for emergency nurses managing epistaxis.
  • To emphasize the importance of early detection of complications and appropriate interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical observation and assessment of epistaxis patients.
  • Monitoring of vital signs and patient status.
  • Consultation with Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialists.

Main Results:

  • Underestimation of blood loss is a significant risk.
