Hockey Stick-shaped Merocel？ Adenoid Packing on Adenoid Bleeding

초록

Background and Objectives：Efective control of bleeding from the adenoidectomy site is more dificult than bleeding from key stick-shaped Merocel. Subjects and Method：Twenty-three cases of masive bleeding in children who were not treated to electrocauterization and epinephrine packing during adenoidectomy and 6 cases of imediate bleding on adenoid on the day after operation in pediatric patients were included. In 23 cases of massive bleeding during operation, hockey stick-shaped Mero-celit was inserted to the nasopharynx through nasal cavity after local infiltration anesthesia for nasal mucosa. We evaluate the clinical usefulness of the hockey stick-shaped Merocelpacking. Results：There was no postoperative bleeding in all cases of compressive hemostasis using hockey stick-shaped Merocel. There were temporary complications such as nasal obstruction. There were no severe compli-cations such as sleep apnea or respiratory disturbance. Conclusion：Effective hemostasis for continuous adenoidectomy site bleeding in children was achieved using hockey stick-shaped Merocelwithout severe complications.
