Abstract

Anterior rhinoscopy with a Thudicum’s or Killian’s speculum is essential in the assessment and treatment of anterior epistaxis. A simple technique for visualization of the nasal septum is described which enables a two-handed approach to treatment and is achieved with materials readily available in the emergency department.
