Epistaxis is fairly common in adults and children as the blood vessels supplying the nasal mucosa have little anatomic support or inherent protection. The most common causes of epistaxis in children include nasal mucosal dryness, trauma, foreign body, and rhinitis. Other important potential causes that are less common include systemic conditions such as bleeding or inflammatory disorders, medications that impact hemostasis (eg, NSAIDs, anticoagulants) and tumors. 1 Congestion of nasal blood vessels or irritation and drying of the nasal

Epistaxis is one of the most common complications of nasotracheal intubation. 1 – 3 Various methods have been developed to prevent or reduce bleeding, including thermosoftening of the nasal endotracheal tube as well as use of the gum elastic bougie technique. 4 – 6 However, management of massive epistaxis after nasotracheal extubation has not been well addressed, even in reviews of nasotracheal intubation for head and neck surgery. 1 , 3 Depending on the surgical procedure, epistaxis may be more complicated and difficult to control

CASE REPORT A 27-year-old woman (height 156 cm, weight 47 kg, body mass index 19.3 kg/m 2 ) was scheduled for maxillary Le Fort I osteotomy and mandibular bilateral sagittal split osteotomies to correct maxillofacial deformities. She had a history of atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and retinal detachment; reported allergies to latex, walnuts, and ampicillin; and was taking bilastine daily. The patient denied any history of epistaxis, and preoperative nasal endoscopy showed no abnormal nasal cavity morphology or cysts. No abnormal

Epistaxis has been reported as the most common complication of nasotracheal intubation. The incidence of epistaxis has been generally reported as ranging from 50 to 80%. 1 – 5 During nasotracheal intubation, the tip of the tube advances through the narrow nasal passages, reaches the posterior nasopharyngeal wall, and changes direction downward to the oropharynx. Epistaxis usually occurs from damage to Kiesselbach's plexus in Little's area in the anterior part of the nasal septum. 6 Although bruising of the mucosa overlying the turbinate

Orthognathic surgery or surgical/anesthetic procedures than induce substantial epistaxis postoperatively require swift, appropriate management to avoid potentially catastrophic complications. We report a patient in whom the use of a modified endotracheal tube (ETT) with a cuff as a transnasal airway and a choanal hemostasis balloon was effectively applied for emergent epistaxis control following orthognathic surgery. The patient provided written consent to publish the details of this case. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 27-year-old woman (height 165

General anesthesia via endotracheal intubation for dental treatment may be performed from an oral or a nasal approach. 1 The obvious benefits of nasal intubation include improved working space in the oral cavity and the ability of the dentist to evaluate jaw relationships. Although it is generally safe, nasotracheal intubation is not without complications. The incidence of minor bruising to the mucosa overlying the inferior turbinates has been reported as high as 54%. 2 A search of the literature reveals epistaxis rates ranging from 18 to 66%. 3 – 8
