Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate comorbidities and anticoagulant-antiaggregant use according to the severity of bleeding and to evaluate the complete blood count coagulation parameters in patients with epistaxis. Patients and Methods: Between May 2019 and December 2020, a total of 314 applications of 289 patients (168 males, 121 females; mean age: 38±26.5 years; range, 1 to 88 years) who were referred to our clinic with epistaxis were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups as Group 1 including patients who had no bleeding focus and were left untreated; Group 2 including patients with dried, vascularized areas that might have bleeding, or who had a mucosal active bleeding focus in the form of leakage and those who underwent chemical cauterization with silver nitrate; and Group 3 including patients with active arterial or venous focus of severe bleeding who underwent electrocauterization or packing. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the age, hypertension, anticoagulant-antiaggregant use, and platelet values among the groups. There was no significant difference among the groups in terms of re-bleeding from the same focus. A statistically significant increase was observed in epistaxis admissions in summer and winter periods, compared to spring and autumn. A significant difference was observed between silver nitrate and electrocauterization application in terms of re-bleeding from the same focus. Conclusion: Epistaxis is associated with significant morbidity and rare mortality. The most appropriate procedure for epistaxis management would be the procedure that performs hemostasis with minimal pain and allows patients to return to their normal daily activities as soon as possible. To choose the appropriate method in the treatment of patients presenting with epistaxis, bleeding should be well evaluated.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada epistaksis hastalarında kanama şiddetinegöre eşlik eden hastalıkları ve antikoagülan-antiagregankullanımı araştırıldı ve hemogram koagülasyon parametrelerideğerlendirildi.Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Mayıs 2019 - Aralık 2020 tarihleriarasında kliniğimize epistaksis şikayeti ile başvuran 289 hastanın(168 erkek, 121 kadın; ort. yaş 38±26.5 yıl; dağılım 1-88 yıl)toplam 314 uygulaması retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastalarüç gruba ayrıldı: herhangi bir kanama odağı bulunmayan vetedavi edilmeyen hastalardan oluşan Grup 1; kanamış olabilecekkurutlu, vaskülerize alanı olan veya sızıntı şeklinde mukozal aktifkanama odağı olanlar ve gümüş nitrat ile kimyasal koterizasyonyapılan hastalardan oluşan Grup 2 ve aktif arteriyel veya venöz,şiddetli kanama odağı olanlar ve elektrokoterizasyon veya tamponuygulaması yapılan hastalardan oluşan Grup 3.Bulgular: Gruplar arasında yaş, hipertansiyon, antikoagülanantiagregankullanımı ve trombosit değerleri açısından istatistikselolarak anlamlı bir fark görüldü. Aynı odaktan tekrar kanamaaçısından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark görülmedi. Bahardönemlerine kıyasla, yaz ve kış dönemlerinde epistaksisbaşvurularında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir artış gözlendi.Aynı odaktan tekrar kanama açısından gümüş nitrat ileelektrokoterizasyon uygulaması arasında anlamlı bir farklılıkgörüldü.Sonuç: Epistaksis önemli morbidite ve nadir mortalite ileilişkilidir. Epistaksis yönetimi için en uygun işlem, hemostazıminimal ağrı ile hastaların en kısa sürede normal günlükaktivitelerine dönmelerine izin veren bir işlem olacaktır.Epistaksis ile başvuran hastaların tedavisinde uygun yönteminseçilmesi için kanamanın iyi bir şekilde değerlendirilmesigereklidir.
