Brief Summary: In this study investigators aim to understand the relationship between changes in atmospheric pressure and blood pressure and to investigate whether these changes have an impact on the etiology of epistaxis
Detailed Description: This study aims to investigate the potential effects of changes in atmospheric pressure on epistaxis and if such effects exist to review treatment adjustments based on weather forecasts for hypertensive patients to prevent potential hypertensive emergencies and enhance patient comfort This research poses no risk to patients and is purely observational and clinical in nature
The study will be conducted prospectively over a period of 6 months at the Emergency Department of Ankara Etlik City Hospital focusing on patients presenting with epistaxisAfter initial evaluation upon presentation to the emergency department patients will undergo routine emergency department monitoring for epistaxis including physical examination vital sign monitoring evaluation of coagulation parameters and hemoglobin levels Apart from routine tests no additional invasive or non-invasive procedures will be performed by us
Data obtained from patients and daily atmospheric pressure parameters will be evaluated and analyzed
