ICD-10-CM Code for Epistaxis R04. 0.
Epistaxis is the commonest otolaryngological emergency, which is often managed by a nasal pack. A significant number of cases fail to respond to nasal packing and various surgical measures are available to control the nosebleed in these cases.

Epistaxis is defined as acute hemorrhage from the nostril, nasal cavity, or nasopharynx. It is a frequent emergency department (ED) complaint and often causes significant anxiety in patients and clinicians.
Testing. To diagnose epistaxis, routine laboratory testing is not required. Patients with symptoms or signs of a bleeding disorder and those with severe or recurrent epistaxis should have complete blood count (CBC), prothrombin time (PT), and partial thromboplastin time (PTT).
Anterior epistaxis refers to a nosebleed that originates from the anterior (frontal) part of the nose. Most of the time, cases of anterior epistaxis originate from the Kiesselbach plexus, which is a vascular network found on the nasal septum, as these arteries can be easily traumatized.

Most cases of epistaxis occur in the anterior part of the nose, with the bleeding usually arising from the rich arterial anastomoses of the nasal septum (Kiesselbach's plexus). Posterior epistaxis generally arises from the posterior nasal cavity via branches of the sphenopalatine arteries.
The most common local causes of epistaxis are trauma, anatomic deformities, inflammatory reactions, and intranasal tumors. Epistaxis is most commonly encountered in the pediatric population secondary to digital trauma.
Anterior nosebleeds originate toward the front of the nose and cause blood to flow out through the nostrils. This is the most common type of nosebleed and it is usually not serious. Posterior nosebleeds originate toward the back of the nasal passage, near the throat.
The most common cause of nosebleeds is dry air. Dry air can be caused by hot, low-humidity climates or heated indoor air. Both environments cause the nasal membrane (the delicate tissue inside your nose) to dry out and become crusty or cracked and more likely to bleed when rubbed or picked or when blowing your nose.
Symptoms include bleeding from one or both nostrils and bleeding down the back of the throat with spitting, coughing, or vomiting of blood. Prolonged or recurrent nosebleeds may cause anemia.
Nosebleeds (medical term is "epistaxis") are very common. Almost every person has had at least one in their lifetime. They are usually caused by dry air or nose-picking.
Initial management includes compression of the nostrils (application of direct pressure to the septal area) and plugging of the affected nostril with gauze or cotton that has been soaked in a topical decongestant. Direct pressure should be applied continuously for at least five minutes, and for up to 20 minutes.
