Epistaxis is a common ear, nose, and throat emergency, and severe cases are traditionally controlled by the placement of anteroposterior nasal packing. In this article, a way of controlling severe epistaxis with the combination of two RapidRhino packs is described. Although not always successful, it is a technique that in the majority of patients can control severe bleeding faster, easier, with decreased pain, and increased patient comfort, compared to the traditional anteroposterior nasal packing.

Objectives: A prospective non-blinded randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of Merocel and RapidRhino nasal packs in the treatment of anterior epistaxis.
Methods: Fifty-two consecutive participants admitted with anterior epistaxis refractory to digital pressure or nasal cautery were randomized to treatment using one or other of the nasal packs. Patients who required repacking because of continued bleeding, only the first packs were included in the analysis.
