Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

281
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

1.2K
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

16.2K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Summary

Epistaxis management shifted towards less invasive, conservative nasal packing during the COVID-19 pandemic. This change reduced patient morbidity and nosocomial transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology

Background:

  • Epistaxis is a common ENT surgical intervention.
  • Otorhinolaryngologists face high SARS-CoV-2 exposure risks due to upper respiratory tract involvement.
  • Minimizing nosocomial transmission is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the management of epistaxis in outpatients before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To compare treatment outcomes and identify changes in epistaxis care.
  • To assess the impact of the pandemic on surgical interventions and patient management.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective audit of epistaxis management pre-pandemic.
  • Retrospective review of patient records during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
  • Comparative analysis of management strategies and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • A significant shift from rigid endoscopy (70% pre-pandemic vs. 5% interpandemic) and cauterization (100% pre-pandemic vs. 20% interpandemic) was observed.
  • Nasal packing became the primary conservative treatment, with Nasopore and Rapid Rhino usage increasing.
  • 90% of patients were managed conservatively with nasal packing during the pandemic.

Conclusions:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic induced a paradigm shift in epistaxis management towards less invasive, conservative approaches.
  • This shift resulted in reduced patient morbidity, fewer hospital admissions, and decreased nosocomial transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
  • Further research is needed considering vaccine development and evolving SARS-CoV-2 strains.
