Abstract

This study aims to investigate the facilities available in Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments and the education of casualty officers in the treatment of epistaxis in the UK. Fifty departments were chosen at random and a telephone survey undertaken. The results show a paucity of facilities and inadequate training of A&E officers in a majority of departments. Recommendations for treatment standards are made.
