Abstract
Posterior epistaxis remains a serious health problem. Modification of a traditional posterior pack using a Foley catheter has proved to be an effective method of treating these sites of severe posterior bleeding. Technological advancements in the form of a PCA infuser and pulse oximetry have allowed better control of packing-associated pain and identification of potential hypoxic complications.
