What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating how changes in atmospheric pressure may affect epistaxis, or nosebleeds, and whether these changes influence the causes of epistaxis. The study also aims to see if treatment adjustments based on weather forecasts can help prevent hypertensive emergencies and improve comfort for patients with high blood pressure. This observational study involves no risk to participants and is clinical in nature. The study will take place over six months at the Emergency Department of Ankara Etlik City Hospital. It focuses on patients who come to the emergency department with epistaxis, whether the bleeding is active or has resolved. After arriving, patients will receive routine emergency care including physical exams, vital sign checks, and blood tests such as coagulation and hemoglobin levels. No extra invasive or non-invasive procedures will be performed beyond standard care. Participants will provide data which will be combined with daily atmospheric pressure readings for analysis. The study team will monitor patients during their emergency visit and collect information on epistaxis occurrences within 24 hours. The research aims to better understand the link between weather changes and nosebleeds, potentially guiding future care for patients with related conditions.
