What to do about nosebleed
Nosebleed is a common clinical symptom. We should try not to swallow blood after nosebleed, so as not to irritate the stomach and cause vomiting. It is also helpful to control the amount of bleeding.
A small amount of bleeding can be stopped by pressing the nose and pinching both sides of the nose with your fingers for 10-15 minutes. At the same time, apply cold water bags to the forehead and the back of the neck to shrink the blood vessels and reduce the bleeding.
For large amounts of bleeding, nasal packing is often required. Nasal packing refers to the treatment of hemostasis by directly pressing the small blood vessels of the bleeding site of the nasal cavity with the packing material to occlude the blood vessels.
According to the different causes, bleeding volume and bleeding site to choose the appropriate packing materials. There are two kinds of absorbable material and non-absorbable material available at present. Absorbable materials such as starch sponge, gelatin hemostatic sponge, etc. Non-absorbable materials such as expanded sponge, vaseline yarn, antibiotic ointment yarn, iodoform yarn and air bag or water bag.
The advantages of the endoscopic hemostasis method are that it can accurately determine the bleeding site and avoid blind nasal packing. After a bleeding point or bleeding area is found under endoscopic surveillance, hemostasis can be performed using bipolar coagulation, microwave, radio frequency, and laser.
In severe cases of nosebleed, hospitalization is required, with attention to blood loss and possible anemia or shock. Sedatives and hemostatic agents may be applied as appropriate.
Elderly patients should pay special attention to cardiopulmonary and brain functions. At ordinary times, attention should also be paid to the prevention of nasal bleeding, such as avoiding the bad habit of picking the nose, avoid blowing the nose vigorously and violent sneezing, pay attention to keep the nasal cavity moist in dry climate, avoid the nutritional intake insufficiency and vitamin deficiency caused by poor eating habits such as partial diet. After hemostasis is achieved, the cause of nosebleed is examined and treated.
