Massive nasal bleeding and hemodynamic instability associated with clopidogrel
Abstract
A 58-year-old woman was brought to our emergency department with massive nasal bleeding and hemodynamic instability. The patient had been on clopidogrel treatment (75 mg/day) for 2 years, which was started after an episode of transitory ischemic attack. Blood pressure normalized following the administration of intravenous fluids, and the bleeding stopped after nasal tamponade and desmopressin therapy.
