ABSTRACT

A literature search was conducted for systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials and guidelines with the focus on management of childhood epistaxis. The core search terms used for Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were epistaxis and nosebleeds and were limited to children 0–18 years. The guidelines databases on www.evidence.nhs.uk, NICE Clinical Knowledge Summaries and BestBETS (Best Evidence Topics) were also searched.
