    Summary

    Early arterial ligation significantly reduces hospital stays for severe epistaxis patients without increasing risks. This surgical approach is recommended as the primary treatment for severe nosebleeds.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Medical Management

    Background:

    • Severe epistaxis presents a significant clinical challenge.
    • Effective management strategies are crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Arterial ligation is a potential intervention for intractable epistaxis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of early arterial ligation in managing severe epistaxis.
    • To compare outcomes of early arterial ligation with other management strategies.
    • To determine the optimal treatment for severe epistaxis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of three patient groups with severe epistaxis.
    • Analysis of patient data including length of hospital stay and complications.
    • Comparison of outcomes based on treatment received, specifically early arterial ligation.

    Main Results:

    • Patients undergoing early arterial ligation experienced a significantly shorter hospital stay.
    • No increased risk of complications was observed in the early arterial ligation group.
    • Early arterial ligation demonstrated superior efficiency in managing severe epistaxis.

    Conclusions:

    • Early arterial ligation is an effective and safe treatment for severe epistaxis.
    • This method leads to reduced healthcare resource utilization.
    • Early arterial ligation should be considered the preferred treatment for severe nosebleeds.
