Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Nasal packing is a common surgical and epistaxis treatment.
  • Current nasal packing methods carry risks of serious complications like aspiration and hypoxia.
  • Accidental loss of nasal packing during procedures can complicate patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a method for easily tracking nasal packs using X-ray.
  • To mitigate risks associated with lost or difficult-to-locate nasal packing.

Main Methods:

  • Incorporation of radiopaque indicators into standard nasal packing materials.
  • Utilizing plain X-ray films for rapid localization of the nasal packs.

Main Results:

  • Nasal packs with integrated x-ray indicators are readily detectable on plain X-ray films.
