Design
Tranexamic acid (TXA) (500mg/ml) soaked NasoPore®packing was introduced to the pathway for epistaxis which did not
terminate following 10 minutes of simple first aid. The pathway was
utilised for adult patients presenting with non-traumatic, anterior
epistaxis.
Pre- and post-implementation admission rates and re-attendance rates
were recorded by retrospective audit at a large central London hospital.
