And we're back, but dammit, we have a nosebleed this week. Blame it on the dry northern Saskatchewan air. Key points this week: These patients are commonly anxious, which makes everything worse: work on reducing their level of anxiety in the office/ED. 90% of nosebleeds will resolve with basic first aid: start with basic first aid when you first see them, and teach it to them to save them the trip in the next time it happens. If it's recurrent or you can't get it to stop, consider a posterior bleed: these will usually need help from ENT. Thanks to FMR2 Dr. Isa Saidu for help in developing this topic!
