Background: in emergency wards, the situation that mostly handled is epistaxis. Objectives: The objective of this research study was to highlight the association of epistaxis with blood groups, modalities, the pattern of epistaxis and its management. Patients and methods: We completed this research at Jinnah Hospital, Lahore from March 2017 to February 2018. The people with reasons such as rhinolith granulomatous situation, trauma, blood dyscrasia, foreign bodies and less than one year of age were rejected. The people selected for this study were with serious epistaxis. These patients need hospital treatment. The numbers of the patients excluded from the study were 60. The purpose of rejection was granulomatous disorder; tumour of rejection was a granulomatous disorder, tumour and blood dyscrasia. 100 controls were chosen for this study for the purpose of assessment of connection of blood grouping with epistaxis age, blood groups, made of presentation, reason and management modalities of adjacent 160 cases of epistaxis that were hospitalized. Cases of epistaxis that were hospitalized. SPSS was used for data assessment by manual technique. Results: The most ordinary reason above 50years was hypertension. Comparative to females, male patients (72%) suffer from this disorder mostly. Sixty (60%) and seven (7%) were presented with hypertension and chronic rhinosinusitis respectively. The anterior nasal pack was carried for eighty-five (85%) patients whereas posterior nasal packing was carried out for 15(15%) patients. The number of patients within 1 to 9 years, 10 to 29 years, 30 to 49 years and above fifty were seven (7%), nine (9%), twenty (20%), and sixty (60%) patients respectively. In the control group, 38% of patients were having blood group (O) while 47% in other. Conclusion: It was concluded that most of the patients of epistaxis were with blood group ‘O’. Trauma, blood dyscrasia and granulomatous disorder were excluded from the study so, the main reason in hospitalized patients was hypertension. In the management of epistaxis, anterior nasal packing is still significant. Keywords: Epistaxis, Hypertension, Nasal packing, Blood groups.
