Otolaryngologist (ENT)

There are two ways to stop bleeding in the nasal cavity: by occlusion of the ruptured vessel or by balancing intranasal and intravascular pressures. * Occlusion of the ruptured vessel can be achieved by: - a ligature or a clip; - the formation of a thrombus following cauterization, coagulation or the application of certain chemical or organic substances; - by the introduction of a wick or an absorbable hemostatic sponge; - by the direct pressure of a finger, of a balloon or of a wick more or less compacted opposite the bleeding vessel. * The balancing of intranasal and intravascular pressures occurs by transforming the nasal cavity into a closed vessel by occluding the choana posteriorly and the nasal vestibule anteriorly.
