Correct hemostasis methods for children's epistaxis.

The correct way to stop nosebleeds in children is that the weather is dry and the nose is prone to bleeding. However, many people will be very alarmed when they find that they have nosebleeds in their lives. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the nosebleed in time. The following are the correct ways to stop nosebleeds in children.

The correct hemostasis method for children with nosebleeds 1 Raise your hand for nosebleeds: pure psychological comfort.

I believe many people have heard of the method of "raising hands to stop bleeding", and they once believed it when they were young and practiced it themselves.

In fact, from a medical point of view, although raising your hand to stop bleeding will not expand the damage of nosebleeds, it is also ineffective. The reason why some people feel "really amazing" is more likely to be a kind of psychological comfort.

Nose bleeding, head back: risk of suffocation.

Looking up to stop nosebleeds is a very dangerous behavior, which may even lead to suffocation.

This is because our nasal cavity communicates with the posterior pharyngeal wall. After the nosebleed rises, it will flow to the digestive tract along the posterior pharyngeal wall, which will stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause vomiting reaction. In extreme cases, nosebleeds will also flow to the airway, which is a risk of suffocation.

Stuffing toilet paper into the nostrils: it is unsanitary and may aggravate the symptoms.

Many times, children have nosebleeds because the weather is dry and the nasal mucosa and capillaries are damaged.

If we put toilet paper into our nostrils, although it looks clean, it is unsanitary and may cause infection without strict aseptic treatment.

Moreover, because the toilet paper is dry and rough, it may also cause great damage to the nasal mucosa and capillaries, and the symptoms of nosebleed are aggravated.

Why does the child have a nosebleed?

1. The nasal mucosa is delicate and easy to rupture.

Compared with adults, children have delicate nasal mucosa, rich blood vessels and thin blood vessel walls, and are more prone to rupture and bleeding.

Especially for children aged 2-5, they are very curious, but they don't have enough safety awareness. They often pick their nostrils or stuff foreign bodies into their noses, which hurts the mucous membranes and capillaries of the nasal cavity. This is the "high incidence period" of nosebleeds.

2. The climate is dry

The climate is dry in spring and autumn. Through daily breathing, the environment in the child's nasal cavity will also become dry. Once stimulated or slightly injured, it is easy to have a nosebleed.

3. Nasal diseases

If the child has some nasal diseases, such as rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps, etc. There may also be symptoms of nosebleeds, and you need to take your child to the ENT department for professional examination to be sure.

4. Systemic diseases

Finally, some systemic diseases will also be accompanied by nosebleeds, such as leukemia, hemophilia and aplastic anemia.

Moreover, because these diseases will make children's blood unable to coagulate normally, nosebleeds are frequent and last for a long time, and it is difficult to stop them on their own.

What is the correct method for nosebleeds?

1. pressing method

Generally speaking, children's nosebleeds are often located in the Lee's area in the anterior lower part of the nasal septum. We can help stop the bleeding by pressing.

The specific way is to keep the child's head upright, or lean forward slightly to prevent blood from flowing backwards, then hold the nose wings on both sides (the soft boneless part at the lower end of the nose) and continue to press 10- 15 minutes.

If there is a lot of bleeding and blood reflux during pressing, be sure to stop pressing immediately.

2. Cold compress method

Another way to stop nosebleeds is to put cold water or an ice pack at the root of a child's nose, which is also commonly known as "mountain root".

Through this method, children's capillaries can be contracted, blood flow can be slowed down, platelet coagulation can be enhanced, and the effect of hemostasis can be achieved.

3. Block the nostrils with medical gauze and absorbent cotton.

If the child has a large amount of bleeding, we can also use medical absorbent cotton and gauze if conditions permit. Soak in clear water or vegetable oil and slowly pour it into the nostrils, which can also play a good hemostatic role.

Of course, if the effect is not good, or if the child bleeds too much, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible and ask the doctor to stop bleeding in a more professional way.

Correct hemostasis methods for children with nosebleeds II. The culprit of nosebleeds.

1, air drying

When the humidity in the air is not enough and it is too dry, it will also lead to nosebleeds. Because when the air is dry, it will stimulate the capillaries in the nasal cavity to a certain extent, and the capillaries will rupture, leading to nosebleeds.

2. fatigue

If the body is often in a state of fatigue, it is also easy to cause nosebleeds. Many office workers and students' parties are prone to fatigue and nosebleeds because they often work overtime or study for a long time.

3. Bad living habits

Bad living habits, such as picking your nose hard, will damage the nasal mucosa and easily lead to nosebleeds.

Step 4 get angry

Getting angry can also lead to nosebleeds. Excessive fire will lead to overheating of lung qi and nosebleeds.

5. Bad eating habits

Nowadays, many people are picky about food, like to eat fried and spicy food, and don't eat nutritious but light fruits and vegetables at all.

Over time, it will lead to vitamin deficiency in the body, brittle blood vessels and easy nosebleeds.

The five points mentioned above are the main causes of nosebleeds. After understanding the causes of nosebleeds, let's talk about some incorrect practices and effective hemostasis methods when encountering nosebleeds.

Incorrect treatment of nosebleeds;

Knead the toilet paper into a ball and stuff it into your nose. This is a common practice when many people have nosebleeds, but this method is also not desirable.

Because toilet paper is stuffed into the nasal cavity, it is easy to damage the mucosa in the nasal cavity, resulting in nosebleeds, and there may be many bacteria on the toilet paper, which may easily make bacteria invade the nasal cavity and lead to infection.

Put your head back. After many people have nosebleeds, their first reaction is to tilt their heads back. They want to prevent more nosebleeds in this way. Although this method can prevent excessive nosebleeds to a certain extent, it is best not to use this method to stop bleeding.

Because it is easy to let blood flow into esophagus or even trachea, this method is not recommended because it will lead to uncomfortable situation when the situation is light and trachea blockage when it is serious.

When nosebleeds, it is very undesirable to plug your nose with toilet paper and lean your head back. Then, in the case of nosebleeds, what can be done to stop bleeding scientifically and effectively?

Correct treatment of epistaxis;

Cold compress can be applied to the nose with an ice pack or a towel soaked in ice water, which can reduce the temperature of the nose, shrink the blood vessels in the nasal cavity and effectively relieve nosebleeds.

Hold your nose with your fingers and apply some pressure. In this way, you can also achieve the purpose of hemostasis.

If the amount of bleeding is large, you can also choose sterile paper to gently block your nose to slow down the speed of nosebleeds.

However, if the nosebleed does not stop for a long time, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to prevent accidents caused by excessive blood loss.

Correct hemostasis methods for children with nosebleeds 3 Most of the reasons for children with nosebleeds are the following four:

First, due to seasonal reasons, the summer climate is dry, and children's nosebleeds increase. It is common for children to have nosebleeds during this period, so parents should pay more attention to their living habits and diet.

Second, dietary reasons, now most children are partial to food, only like to eat meat, do not like to eat vegetables, nutritional intake is not comprehensive, leading to increased vascular fragility.

Third, the child's bad behavior habits, such as rubbing his nose hard, lead to the rupture of small blood vessels in the nose, also known as trauma. Many nosebleeds are caused by the impact of the outside world when children are playing, which leads to the damage of nasal tissue and nosebleeds.

Fourth, the causes of diseases, such as blood diseases, fever, cough and so on. At the same time, nasal diseases are also one of the important causes of nosebleeds, such as rhinitis, sinusitis, turbinate hypertrophy and nasal polyps. , will indirectly cause capillary rupture, forming frequent nosebleeds.

Parents should not panic when the child has a nosebleed, let the child sit quietly and fill the nasal cavity with clean absorbent cotton to stop bleeding. If there is no absorbent cotton, you can also press your nose with your fingers in the direction of facial bones for 5 minutes. Release your hand gently after 5 minutes. If it's still bleeding, you need to take the child to the hospital.

Apply a cold towel to the nose to constrict the blood vessels in the nasal cavity. Avoid blowing your nose or strenuous exercise within half an hour after the bleeding stops, so as not to cause repeated bleeding. If you still can't stop bleeding effectively, or often have nosebleeds, parents are advised to take their children to the hospital for treatment to prevent potential harm.
