Taponamiento nasal en la epistaxis posterior. Comparación de dos métodos
Resumen Objetivo Evaluar la tolerancia y eficacia de 2 sistemas de taponamiento nasal para epistaxis posteriores refractarias. Pacientes y metodos Estudio comparativo longitudinal y prospectivo de 5 anos en pacientes que acudieron a Urgencias por epistaxis y precisaron taponamiento posterior. Se consideraron 2 grupos: uno atendido con un sistema de hinchado neumatico bicameral (n = 105); otro en el que se efectuo oclusion posterior con gasa accediendo por boca y refuerzo anterior (n = 47). La tolerancia se midio mediante escala analogica de intensidad dolorosa durante la colocacion y mantenimiento del tapon, asi como por necesidad de analgesia. La eficacia se valoro por indices de resangrad…
Nasal packing in posterior epistaxis. Comparison of two methods
Objective: To evaluate tolerance and efficiency of two nasal blocking systems for posterior refractory epistaxis. Patients and methods: A five year comparative and longitudinal prospective study was developed in patients with epistaxis who attended our Emergency Unit and who required posterior nasal packing. Two groups were considered: one group was treated with a bi-chamber pneumatic inflation system (n=105). In the other one, posterior occlusion was carried out with gauze, accessing through the mouth and using nasal reinforcement (n=47). The tolerance was measured by means of an analogue scale of pain intensity during the placement and maintenance of the packing, as well as for the need o…
