Overview
Most of the patients with epistaxis don't need any medical procedure. Nasal compression is the best first option to stop bleeding. 95.5% of patients with epistaxis who attend emergency departments were discharged, patients were charged on average $1146.21 per visit.
Cost-effectiveness of Therapy
- 95.5% of patients with epistaxis who attend emergency departments were discharged, patients were charged on average $1146.21 per visit($1473.29 for nasal packing vs $1048.22 otherwise).[1]
- A study from Canada showed that when first procedures to stop epistaxis fail, and repeated nasal packing performed to stop bleeding, may increase charging patients up to CaD $4046.74 [1]
Costs for inpatients:[1]
- About 2.24 days stay in hospital with an average cost of $6925 per admission.
- Renal diseases can increase costs of per admission by $1272.
- $30,000 for embolization (total charging of admission by $58,967)
- Surgical ligation ($28,611)
- It has been reported that in the case of posterior epistaxis, endoscopic sphenopalatine artery ligation at first is cost-saving instead of performing posterior nasal packing. [2]
