Abstract:
This retrospective study assesses the effect of early blood transfusion on the subsequent progress of patients admitted with severe epistaxis. Both further bleeding and surgical procedures were more frequent in those receiving blood within the initial 24 h. It was concluded that the need for early blood transfusion should be assessed with care.
