“…Yüksel et al [24] found that the evidence available was insufficient to prove a significant association between hypertension and epistaxis. Lima and Knopfholz [25] reported that epistaxis was unlikely to be a hypertensive emergency. Gifford and Orlandi [26] found that the control of epistaxis may be more difficult in patients with hypertension.…”

“…It is possible that with the committed search one could find the real cause of epistaxis in these patients. Elima 8 reported that epistaxis is unlikely to be a hypertensive emergency and a number of large studies have failed to show causal relationship between hypertension and epistaxis 9 If found the bleeding site is cauterized either with silver nitrate or electro cautery. Failure to find the bleeding point leads to anterior nasal pack with paraffin gauze, gloved finger or merocele when available.…”

Background: Epistaxis is defined as a hemorrhage from the nostril, nasal cavity, or nasopharynx. Sufferers and clinicians may develop significant anxiety despite the fact that majority of patients are treated successfully by the first attending physician. Objective: To review aetiology and management outcomes of epistaxis in a resource constrained setting. Methodology: A retrospective review of 101 patients seen with epistaxis at the National Ear Care Centre, Kaduna over 7years (January 2002-December 2008. Results: The age of patients ranged between 2 and 75years. The incidence of epistaxis of 0.5% was recorded out of total patient visit and slight male preponderance with a male:female ratio of 1.4:1. Dry-hot and cold harmattan weather had the highest prevalence. Trauma and infections were the main aetiological factors identified but over 40% of cases are idiopathic in origin. About 25% presented with active bleeding and 11% required admission. All were managed conservatively. Less than 2% received blood transfusion. Conclusion: Epistaxis is a common emergency that requires prompt intervention to reduce further morbidity and prevent mortality. Non operative intervention was a satisfactory approach in this study.

“…These findings indicate no connection between epistaxis and hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension in patients with epistaxis reportedly ranges from 24% to 64% [13]. Theodosis et al found that the final diagnosis of hypertension was set in 42.9% of patients admitted with epistaxis and in 28.9% of controls, which was not a statistically significant difference.…”

Introduction: Epistaxis is the most common otorhinolaryngological emergency. Whether there is an association relationship between epistaxis and hypertension is a subject of longstanding controversy. Objective: The aim of our study is to evaluate the relationship between epistaxis and hypertension. Materials and methods: This study was conducted at,U.P during the period between June 2016 and January 2017. A total of 40 patients were divided into two groups: Group A consisted of 20 patients who presented with epistaxis, and Group B consisted of 20 patients who served as a control group. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed for all patients. Patients were followed up for a period of two months. Results: Readings of blood pressure (BP) were similar between the two groups regarding BP at presentation, ABPM, and BP at two months. There was a higher number of attacks in patients with history of hypertension. There was highly significant positive correlation between number of attacks of epistaxis and BP readings. Systolic BP at presentation was higher in patients who needed more complex interventions such as pack or cautery than those managed by first aid. Conclusion: We found no definite association between epistaxis and hypertension.
