Objective:
To explore the clinical characteristics and the prevention strategy of intractable spontaneous epistaxis.
Method:
Two hundred and eighty-nine patients with intractable spontaneous epistaxis were retrospectively analyzed.
Result:
Intractable spontaneous epistaxis was characterized by the onset season, age, sex, and the associated disease. Nasal septums were the most common sites of bleeding. Recurrent epistaxis was mainly associated with the failure of locating the bleeding sites.
Conclusion:
Control of elevated blood pressure is essential for the prevention of intractable spontaneous epistaxis. Once epistaxis occurs, the importance of the first treatment for the haemostasis should be emphasized. For the uncontrollable epistaxis, multiple interventions are necessary.
