Epistaxis-related RBC Transfusions
Epistaxis accounted for more transfusion events than
all other indications, individually.
The number of units of blood transfused due to epistaxis overall
decreased between 2015 and 2019 (Figure 1). Notably, when post-operative
epistaxis is further categorised, all operation types decreased except
sphenopalatine artery ligation, which increased by 8 units in total
between 2017 and 2019.
