Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) injuries are common medical presentations.
  • Understanding the anatomy of the head and neck is crucial for diagnosing and treating these injuries.
  • Epistaxis (nosebleeds) frequently presents to emergency departments, necessitating prompt and effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of common ENT injuries.
  • To discuss the relevant anatomy of the ear, nose, and throat.
  • To detail the treatment protocols for patients experiencing epistaxis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of common ENT injuries and anatomy.
  • Focused review on the emergency management of epistaxis.
  • Synthesis of current clinical guidelines and best practices.

Main Results:

  • Common ENT injuries include trauma, infections, and foreign bodies.
  • Detailed anatomical review of the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, and external ear.
  • Established treatment algorithms for anterior and posterior epistaxis, including packing and medical interventions.

Conclusions:

  • A thorough understanding of ENT anatomy aids in the diagnosis and management of injuries.
  • Effective emergency treatment of epistaxis involves identifying the source and applying appropriate hemostatic measures.
  • This review serves as a guide for clinicians managing common ENT emergencies.
