Anterior and posterior nasal cavity tamponade
Procedures to stop incessant nosebleeds. Anterior tamponade is used for bleeding from the front of the nose, and posterior tamponade is used for bleeding from the back of the nasal cavity.
Nosebleeds (epistaxis) can be caused by a variety of causes, including injuries, infectious diseases, hypertension and other conditions.
Benefits
Quick action
Tamponade allows you to quickly stop bleeding.
High efficiency
The procedure is effective even in cases of severe and chronic epistaxis.
Minimal risks
When performed by a qualified specialist, the risk of complications is minimal.
The possibility of outpatient treatment
In most cases, the procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, without the need for hospitalization.
Preparation
Before performing a tamponade, the doctor conducts an examination to determine the source of bleeding. In some cases, additional diagnostics may be required, for example, an endoscopic examination of the nose.
Anterior and posterior nasal cavity tamponade procedure
If most of the blood flows out through the nostrils, an anterior tamponade is used. Special tampons soaked in medicines are inserted into the nasal passages, which stop bleeding. If the source of the bleeding is in the back of the nasal cavity, a posterior tamponade is used. This is a more complex procedure in which special tampons are inserted into the nasopharynx and nasal cavity through the mouth. Modern tampons allow you to stop most bleeding, so a back tamponade is required only in difficult cases.
Recommendations after anterior and posterior nasal cavity tamponade
After tamponade, the patient is advised to avoid active physical activity, increased blood pressure and nasal injuries. Personal hygiene must be observed and, if necessary, the use of medications prescribed by a doctor.
