More than 60% of the US population have experienced epistaxis (nosebleeds) in their lifetime, of whom 6% will seek medical attention.¹ Depending on the severity, nosebleeds can be costly and heavily affect quality of life.¹ The range of interventions for epistaxis includes self-treatment and/or home remedies, moderately invasive (sometimes only temporizing) clinician-based interventions, and surgical or endovascular procedures. The American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) created this guideline for nosebleeds that are severe, persistent, and/or recurrent to provide clear, actionable recommendations and reduce variations in the management of epistaxis.

超过 60% 的美国人口在其一生中经历过鼻出血（流鼻血），其中 6% 将寻求医疗救助。¹根据严重程度，流鼻血可能代价高昂并严重影响生活质量。¹鼻出血的干预范围包括自我治疗和/或家庭疗法、基于临床医生的中度侵入性（有时只是临时性）干预以及外科手术或血管内手术。美国耳鼻咽喉头颈外科学会 (AAO-HNS) 为严重、持续和/或反复流鼻血制定了该指南，以提供明确、可操作的建议并减少鼻出血管理的变化。
