Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • Epistaxis is a common presenting condition in the urgent care. It is more commonly seen in patients aged <10 years or >70 years old.
  • The etiology and differential diagnosis of epistaxis are very broad. Kiesselbach plexus is a common source of anterior bleeds. Trauma, digital manipulation, and foreign body are common causes of epistaxis.
  • Initial evaluation begins by assessing airway compromise, hemodynamic instability, or respiratory distress, followed by determining volume of blood loss.
