Filter by:To investigate the incidence, predictive markers, and survival impact of massive nasal bleeding in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients who received curative radiotherapy (RT) with/without chemotherapy. A total of 1327 patients with previously untreated, biopsy-proven NPC, and no distant metastasis were retrospective reviewed. Investigators analyzed the occurrence rates of massive nasal bleeding between different characteristics and tried to identify important predictive factors. Investigators compared overall survival between patients with and without massive nasal bleeding by Kaplan-Meier method.
The Comprehensive HHT Outcomes Registry of the United States (CHORUS) is an observational registry of patients diagnosed with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). The purpose of this study is to better understand HHT, the symptoms and complications it causes, and the impact the disease has on people's lives. The investigators will collect long-term information about the participant, allowing us to understand how the disease changes over time, and what factors can influence those changes. Ultimately, this should help improve treatments for the disease. Another important goal of the study is to provide a way to contact people to participate in future clinical trials and other research. The registry will be a centralized resource for recruitment for clinical trials. People in the registry will not be obligated to join any of these additional studies, but if interested, can agree to be contacted if they may be eligible for a study. Participants will: - Be asked to provide permission to collect information from their medical records, including things like demographic information, diagnosis information, family history, test results, treatment information, symptoms, complications, lifestyle and other relevant medical information. - Be asked study-related questions by phone or at a clinic visit. - Be asked study-related questions every year after enrollment for up to 10 years or until the study ends. A member of the study team will communicate with participants by phone or at clinic visits to collect information regarding any changes to their health over the previous year/s including new test results, treatment information, symptoms, and complications from HHT.
Patients with epistaxis usually apply to the emergency department for initial treatment. According to recent research, tranexamic acid is effective in the treatment of epistaxis. The research compare the therapeutic superiority of saline with 500 and 1000 mg doses of topical tranexamic acid in the treatment of anterior epistaxis. The design of the phase 4 clinical trial was randomized controlled double-blind. A total of 152 cases in 3 groups were included in the study. Group 1 was treated with 1000 mg of tranexamic acid, group 2 with 500 mg of tranexamic acid, and group 3 with saline. The primary outcome of the study was bleeding control at the 5th and 10th minutes. Secondary outcomes were determined as the need for salvage therapy, recurrent bleeding within 24 hours, the presence of side effects, and the need for otorhinolaryngology consultation.
During nasotracheal intubation, nasopharyngeal trauma and associated bleeding may occur. The investigators think that some of this bleeding is due to trauma to the posterior wall of the nasopharynx. The investigators designed this study, thinking that if nasopharyngeal posterior wall trauma can be prevented, some of these bleedings can be prevented.
This study will explore how a nasal compression device compares to manual compression for stopping anterior nosebleeds. This will be a non-randomized controlled trial enrolling participants presenting to medical care for anterior nosebleeds. Participants will be assigned to receive either a nasal compression device or standard of care consisting of digital compression. Participants will be asked to complete survey questions to assess satisfaction with the care they received, comfort, and overall experience with the device.
Sedoanalgesia is applied to patients during gastrointestinal endoscopy. Sedoanalgesia may cause respiratory depression and hypoxia in patients. During these procedures, patients should be given oxygen support to reduce the incidence of hypoxia.This study aimed to compare the efficacy and procedural performance of two different airway devices (Wei Nasal Jet Tube vs Nasal Cannula Oxygen Support) in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
This randomised, prospective study performed in Ain shams university hospitals over 126 Patients ASA I and ASA II, trauma patients who suffered isolated mandibular fractures and necessitated nasal intubation during general anesthesia. The patients were randomly assigned to one of two equal groups: nasal Lidocaine drops followed by Oxymetazoline nasal drops group (OL) or Epinephrine mixed with Lidocaine as nebulization session (EL) group.
The incidence of epistaxis varies from 7 to 14% in the general population and represents 30 per 100,000 emergency room admissions in adults. Most nasal bleeding is self-limiting without the need for specific medical treatment. Cauterization under local anesthesia and control of medical comorbidities (arterial hypertension and hemostasis disorders) are effective in most cases. In case of failure of cauterization or in case of more posterior epistaxis, an antero-posterior packing can be put in place for 48 hours. In case of failure or recurrence of packing removal, endoscopic sphenopalatine artery (SPA) ligation or embolization is proposed. In case of persistent epistaxis despite hemostasis of the PSA, ligation of the anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) is recommended. This artery cannot be embolized because of the risk to the ophthalmic artery. The ligation of the AEA is most often performed via the external paracanthal approach. It can also be performed by endonasal endoscopic approach but involves the performance of an anterior ethmoidectomy, a long surgery with a significant risk of complications. Its identification by the endonasal route is complicated in the event of abundant bleeding. Moreover, its endoscopic cauterization is difficult if the artery is not procidente. The transconjunctival approach avoids a visible scar and the complications of an ethmoidectomy.
This proposal aims to describe research that will utilize first aid in primary education students and will attempt to identify the frequency with which the training should be repeated and the type of trainer who will carry out the training program.
Background: Nasotracheal intubation can lead to severe complications like epistaxis with excessive bleeding. The advancement difficulty of the tube faced during nasal intubation is one of the fundamental causes of this condition. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Computed tomography-guided nasotracheal intubation in predicting tube advancement difficulty and preventing epistaxis. Material and Methods: 60 maxillofacial surgery patients were included in the study. The space where the tube will be passed in the internal nasal valve region was measured horizontally (distance between inferior concha and septum) and vertically (distance between inferior concha and hard palate) by Computed Tomography. The patients were divided into two groups, 'easy' (n=28) or 'difficult' (n=32), according to the effort required to advance the tube through the nasal passage. ROC analysis was performed, and cut-off values were determined to reveal the distance values at which difficulty may be experienced while advancing the tube. The cut-off values were 1.09 cm and 0.39 cm for the vertically and horizontally distances, respectively.
