Introduction
Has this ever happened to you? You place a nasopharyngeal airway to assist face mask ventilation and cause some inadvertent bleeding. You try to intubate, but your optimal view is gone, and you’re beginning to feel the stress. Gravity Anterior epistaxis can quickly become a difficult or failed intubation. The ability to rapidly control epistaxis is a handy skill in airway management. We show you how here.
Rapid Review
Here is a short video about the Rapid Rhino device and how to insert it. When you’re done here look for the guided practice station associated with this content for hands on training.
Contraindications
Remember, this maneuver is primarily for isolated anterior epistaxis only. Significant facial trauma or basilar skull fractures are a contraindication for its use. When bleeding is causing hemodynamic instability or serious airway compromise, using the device is a judgment call.
Guided Practice Tools
If you’re in one of our PAC Live learning spaces, use these multimedia tools for self-guided practice. When you’re ready, visit our faculty coaches and demonstrate your technique to collect your points!
