BackgroundNasal bleeding is a common complication during nasotracheal intubation (NTI). This is due to the ana- tomical prerequisites and the hemostatic system failure. Using of various research methods in practice can reduce the frequency of such complications. The purpose of the study is to identify predictors of high probability of epistaxis associated with the NTI and the pecu- liarities of the anatomical mucous membrane structure of the nasal passages, and to assess significance of blood coag- ulationfailures in these cases.Materials And Methods45 patients (f-25 and m-20), aged 23 to 47 years, with physical status I-IIASA were analyzed. Depending on the degree of surgical trauma manipulation during intubation were formed three groups of patients in whom the NTI was atraumatic, moderately traumatic and overly traumatic. During preoperative period all patients underwent a rhinoscopy. Intubation trauma of the trachea was assessed by visual analogue scale. The results and discussion. The study of the nasal mucosa structure showed that with atraumatic intubation (Group 1; n=9) were dominated by deep type of bedding nonplethoric nonkinking vessels (66.7% ofpatients (n=6)). During mod- erate trauma intubation (Group 2; n=24), superficial and deep vessels were found equally (50% and 50%). In patients with severe trauma during intubation (Group 3; n=13), 100% of the patients, the vessels were located superficially, 75 % were convoluted, plethoric, mucosa contact bleeding. There were no anatomical changes.ConclusionThe source of bleeding are superficial, plethoric, kinking vessels of the mucous membrane. Hypocoagu- lation disorders, observed in patients during reconstructive surgeries, exacerbate such bleeding and can lead to fatal complications.
