Resumo: | Introduction: Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) emergencies are common in all communities, with significant regional variations in published literature. Early diagnosis and prompt management results in reduction in morbidity and mortality. The management of ENT emergencies requires significant financial resources for admissions and surgical interventions. An awareness of the pattern of admissions will facilitate strategic planning of a department’s activity. Objective: To evaluate the pattern of emergency ENT admissions to our department. Our objectives were to register the common admission diagnoses; record the equipment required in the ward treatment room and to identify training requirements for nursing and medical staff involved in their management. Methods: Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained departmental database. All emergency admissions to our department over 8 years were recorded. The data collected included patients’ demographics and admission diagnoses. Results: The total patients identified were 3878 with 56% (2185) male and 44% (1693) female. The majority of the patients admitted had a diagnosis in the head and neck sub group (58%). Over the study period on average 41 emergency admissions were recorded per month. The commonest emergency requiring admission was epistaxis, followed by acute sore throat. Conclusions: The most common adult ENT emergencies requiring admission to our unit are epistaxis, quinsy and post-tonsillectomy complications. |
