Epistaxis, commonly known as a nosebleed, ranks among the most prevalent emergencies related to the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) encountered in both emergency departments and primary care settings. This condition is broadly categorized into two types: anterior and posterior nosebleeds. Anterior nosebleeds are more common and typically originate from Kiesselbach's plexus (also known as Little's area) located on the anterior nasal septum, accounting for about 90% of such episodes. In contrast, posterior nosebleeds, though less frequent, tend to be more severe and are more likely to necessitate medical intervention due to their potential for significant blood loss.
