The Role of Interventional Radiology Nurses in Managing Severe Epistaxis undergoing Endovascular Treatment
Keywords:
endovascular treatment, nurses management, epistaxisAbstract
Epistaxis, defined as abnormal bleeding from the nasal cavity that could represent a significant emergency due to the risk of life-threatening massive blood loss and potential airway obstruction. This condition arises from various causes. Most frequently associated to trauma at the mid-facial region. Accurate assessment and rapid recognition of the cause are crucial for starting the right treatment. Emergency management focuses on early nursing and medical interventions such as keeping the airway open, giving fluids, monitoring vital signs, and using special devices to stop the bleeding, included endovascular treatment which can help resolved this condition. Understanding the main treatment options and working together as a healthcare team helps nurses provide more effective care. This approach supports faster control of bleeding and improves the patient’s chance of recovery.
