Measure
Epistaxis Group
Subjects presenting with epistaxis that have not been controlled by traditional nasal packing, or that recurred immediately upon removal of the nasal packing will be included in this study. Subject will be evaluated during the packing period to determine the effect of hemostasis. Chitosan coated packing will be removed after 48 hours. Subjects' nasal cavities will be examined endoscopically to evaluate bleeding control, morphological changes induced by the chitosan coated packing. One week after the removal of the packing, the patients will be endoscopically examined to assess the healing of the packed area, to monitor control of bleeding, and observe any potential delayed reaction to the packing material.
