Researchers from Osaka Saiseikai Nakatsu Hospital Discuss Findings in Respiratory Therapeutics (Comparison of Polyvinyl Alcohol Sponge and Gauze Packing for Nasal Fracture Treatment: an Efficacy and Safety Analysis).

Researchers from Osaka Saiseikai Nakatsu Hospital conducted a study comparing the efficacy and safety of polyvinyl alcohol sponge (PVAS) and gauze packing for nasal fracture treatment. The study found that both materials were effective, but the PVAS group had fewer instances of uncontrolled bleeding and packing loss. The research suggests that PVAS may be a suitable option for pediatric and geriatric patients, individuals with allergic rhinitis, and those at risk of bleeding. The study has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights for medical professionals in the field of respiratory therapeutics. [Extracted from the article]
