in the geriatric age group. Our aim in this study is to examine patients in the geriatric age group who applied to our hospital with epistaxis.
Material and Method: In this retrospective study, the data of 474 patients aged 65 and over who applied to the Siverek State Hospital, Department of Otorhinolaryngology between 2015 and 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were evaluated in terms of age, gender, comorbidity, location of the epistaxis and interventions. Patients with trauma, operation and insufficient data were excluded from the study.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 73.76 ± 6.35 years and the age range was 65-96. The female to male ratio was found to be 213:202. While bleeding control was achieved with medical follow-up in 53% of the patients, interventional procedures were required in 47%. Among these interventional procedures, chemical cauterization with silver nitrate (21.7%) was most frequently applied, followed by anterior buffer (13.5%), buffer + electrocautery (8.4%), and posterior buffer (3.4%). The most common comorbidity observed in the patients was hypertension (67%), followed by coronary artery disease (14.5%). While the hospitalization rate was 4.1%, the need for blood transfusion occurred in 1.7% of the patients.
Conclusion: Determining the etiology of epistaxis and finding the source of bleeding should be done meticulously, especially in geriatric patients. Every otolaryngologist should have a good management protocol in epistaxis for appropriate standardization and treatment.

Amaç: Epistaksis çeşitli sebeplerle ortaya çıkabilen ve özellikle geriyatrik yaş grubunda ciddi sıkıntılara sebep olabilen bir kulak burun boğaz acilidir. Bu çalışmada amacımız geriatrik yaş grubunda olup burun kanamasıyla hastanemize başvuran hastaları incelemektir.
Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya 2015-2021 yılları arasında Siverek Devlet Hastanesi Kulak Burun Boğaz Anabilim Dalı'na burun kanaması ile başvuran 65 yaş ve üstü 474 hastanın verileri geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Hastalar yaş, cinsiyet, ek hastalık, burun kanamasının yeri ve yapılan müdaheleler açısından değerlendirildi. Travma , operasyon ve yetersiz verileri olan hastalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı.
Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 73,76 ± 6,35 ve yaş aralığı 65-96 idi. Kadın erkek oranı 213:202 olarak saptandı. Hastaların %53’ünde medikal takip ile kanama kontrolü sağlanırken, %47’sinde girişimsel işlemler gerekmiştir. Bu girişimsel işlemler arasında en sık gümüş nitrat ile kimyasal koterizasyon (%21,7) uygulanırken bunu sırasıyla anteriyor tampon (%13,5), tampon + elektrokoterizasyon (%8,4) ve posteriyor tampon (%3,4) izlemiştir. Hastalarda görülen en sık ek hastalık hipertansiyon (%67) iken bunu koroner arter hastalığı (%14,5) takip etmiştir. Hospitalizasyon oranı %4,1 olurken kan transfüzyon ihtiyacı %1,7 hastada oluşmuştur
Sonuç: Epistaksis etiyolojisinin tespiti ve kanamanın kaynağının bulunması özellikle geriyatrik hastalarda titizlikle yapılmalıdır. Her kulak burun boğaz uzmanı, uygun standardizasyon ve tedavi için epistaksiste iyi bir yönetim protokolüne sahip olmalıdır.
