Moderator EMEDPA Posted December 9, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 9, 2018 I have seen a handful of these with two fairly serious. Nice summary article on management here: https://first10em.com/tonsillectomy-bleed/ Bottom line: don't send these folks home! Even if you have to keep them in the ED for hours until ENT can see them or transfer them a great distance , next day f/u in clinic is NOT ok.

muchi Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Had a young kid come in the other night having neck pain after tonsillectomy -- had nec fac and had to be intubated. Scary stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
