First, we examined the pathophysiology, the current types of treatment that are available to emergency clinicians. When nasal packing is indicated, we examined the efficacy of nasal packing in addition to other topical treatment such as tranexamic acid and the evidence of prophylactic antibiotics. We detailed current studies involving tranexamic acid and prophylactic antibiotics for nasal packing. Finally, we introduced an epistaxis clinical care pathway, based on current evidence, to aid emergency clinicians with their clinical decision-making processes.Keywords: epistaxis, tranexamic acid, nasal packing, clinical care pathwayTran QKBarnett JO'Connell FD'Anza BPourmand ADove Medical Pressarticleepistaxistranexamic acidnasal packingclinical care pathwayMedical emergencies.
