Article Synopsis
- The main treatment for severe nosebleeds that don’t respond to first aid is intranasal packing, and this review examines the evidence supporting its use.
- A systematic review found that trained professionals applying nasal packs show better effectiveness; non-dissolvable packs like Rapid Rhino and Merocel had similar re-bleed rates, while Rapid Rhino packs are the most well-tolerated.
- The study concluded that Rapid Rhino packs are ideal in terms of tolerance and effectiveness, while findings on dissolvable packs and antibiotic usage are limited or inconclusive.*
