Nasal Compression Device Study for Epistaxis

Participants assigned to the NasaClip arm will not receive routine care as the objective of this study is to compare the NasaClip device to routine digital compression in terms of feasibility, comfort, and efficacy. Limited data previously discussed in the background section indicates that application of nasal compression devices may be superior to digital compression.

Most first aid instructions for epistaxis management tell patients to apply firm digital pressure for 10 to 20 minutes, use a topical vasoconstrictor and apply an ice pack over the nose.
