Abstract
Introduction: Epistaxis is one of the main reasons for emergency consultation in the Otolaryngology department. Most episodes originate in the anterior nasal septum and their management tends to be conservative. Objective: To characterize the population that consults for epistaxis at the Otolaryngology service of the Hospital Universitario Mayor Méderi (HUM) between March 2017 and February 2018. Methodology: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, with retrospective data collection of patients admitted to the HUM emergency room for epistaxis, registered in the Otolaryngology service database. Demographic data, location of bleeding, treatment, comorbidities, drugs and blood pressure were analyzed.
