Abstract

Oropharyngeal hemorrhage after tonsillectomy is one of the most common postprocedural ENT emergencies that require immediate attention. Management choices depend on the severity of bleeding, underlying platelet or coagulation disorders, and the patient’s maturity and age. Treatment range from simple observation to an emergent need to both secure the airway and stop the hemorrhage. The workup of the hemorrhagic patient will be discussed from the preoperative to postoperative time period. Surgical techniques in response to various acuity will be discussed to fully elucidate options to control the hemorrhage.
