EPISTAXIS

The nose is the main gateway to the respiratory (breathing) system. The inside of the nose is covered with mucosa (moist, soft tissues) that has a rich blood supply. This warms and moistens the air we breathe. Air passes to and from the lungs through the nostrils. A thin flexible wall called a nasal septum separates the two nostrils.

Little's Area- it is situated in the anterior inferior part of nasal septum. Four arteries anastomose here to form a vascular plexus called 'Kiesselbach's plexus'. This area is exposed to the drying effect of inspiratory current and to finger trauma and is the usual site for epistaxis in children and young adults.

It is defined as a bleeding from inside the nose. It can present in any age group. It is a sign not a disease and an attempt has to be made to find out the cause behind it. Epistaxis is often a frightening sight to the patient and the attendants, especially if the patient is a child.

Diagnosis

1. Clinical history- to detect any injury.
2. Physical examination with the help of nasal speculum.
3. Nasal endoscopy.
4. Blood Test
5. Angiography

Management

1. Make the patient sit up with a backrest and record any blood loss taking place through spitting and vomiting.
2. Reassure the patient.
3. Don't panic because most of the time bleeding can be controlled by pinching the nose tightly for about five minutes.
4. Ice compress can be applied in the nose. They cause bleeding blood vessels to constrict & bleeding stops.
5. Keep check on pulse, BP and respiration.
6. Maintain haemodynamics.
7. Investigate and treat the patient for any underlying local and general causes.
8. Nasal Packing
9. Surgeries in emergencies.

Role of Homoeopathy

Homeopathy- the medicine is selected on the basis of symptom similarity and underlying cause. The epistaxis can also be treated safely and effectively with homeopathic medicines. Homoeopathic remedies selected after properly studying the patient's case are very effective in stopping epistaxis without any relapse.
