This was pulled out of a 80 yr old male with nose bleed for 2 days. It's a blood clot that goes from his nose down his airway and into his lungs.
80 yr old male with nose bleed for 2 days. Refused to go to ER. Wife finally talked husband to go to ER. He coded shortly after arriving. Medical doctor went to do intubation and found this. Pulled it out in one piece. It a blood clot that goes from his nose down his airway and into his lungs
IHaveAnAwesomeWizardBeard
PleaseLeave
So what was the reason for the bleeding
JalapenYoBizness
Did he get better?
TheGrinReaper
I'll take "things you don't want to find during intubation" for $1000 Alex

I had a nose bleed when I was younger, I remember a bunch of blood clots coming out! Crazy. Did the guy survive tho?

why did he die? did OP say he died?
lordMaroza
"He coded shortly after arriving." means he ded. :/
SenorHoward
That... is not clear
lordMaroza
But he coded shortly after arriving... That might not be the most known phrase, but dammit where's your imagination? xD
SenorHoward
"Coded" just means (typically) that the patient had a cardiopulmonary arrest, but doesn't mean he died. He can "code" and then pull through

"Coded" in medical terms means emergency. Generally means heart attack or in need of resuscitation

I don’t know where that tilt-your-head shit came from, but the dampened tissue rolls work the best. (Source: nose-bleeds-like-crazy me)
Fracturedsoup1
Putting a rolled up piece of tissue under your upper lip as high as it will go, blocks off the veins going to your nose
hetriedtokillmewithaforklift
I just tilt my head and breathe through my nose. Dries up quickly that way. I trust my larynx to not lead blood down my lungs.

Depends of how much it's bleeding. If you have a gusher you'll get light headed and could pass out. So... No, not cool.

The worst bleed I had left me a mouthful taste of rust, which didn’t go away after days. Cool? Nah uh. But it’s an unique experience tho.

There was no feeling. He was coding which means unconscious and not breathing.
GdSvThQn
That is not necessarily what coding means, a code can also apply to someone in emergent respiratory situations needing intubation.
Komer
Asking because curious, isn't a code when some one is in Bradycardia/tachycardia? So like he could have been awake?
shannigans
Nope. Dead.
GdSvThQn
He could have been awake, codes are also called for respiratory arrest.
mwppmarauders
No, a code means they are not breathing or their heart is not beating. Brady/tachy would be a rapid response, if anything.
domesticatedotter
No. A code is when someone is either in asystole or has pulseless electrical activity. They won't be breathing.

No, it’s a string of alphanumeric characters that are input during the initial launch screen of a game when using a Game Genie.

imadethisaccounttotellyouthis
I play a doctor on tv. Trust me.
TheOlsenTwins
No. Lots of people are in brady/tachycardia. Just means your heartbeat is fast slow/fast. If you're coding, you're unconscious.
GdSvThQn
I've definitely been in codes where someone was conscious, they did get sedated and intubated but they started conscious.
TheOlsenTwins
Though, you can go into code because of abnormal heart rates found largely in tachycardia, but the odd bradycardia (basically no blood pump)
mwppmarauders
Dunno why you got downvoted, that's pretty much right. We had someone in Vtach that coded the other day.
clid3r
I have extreme tachycardia and take medicine for it. Have had the ablations. You wouldn’t notice unless I told you, or I pass out.

For those that don't know, do not tilt your head back when you get a nose bleed

isn't it that you're supposed to pinch a part of the bridge of your nose?

But you should tilt it forwards though.

Pinch the blood vessel near your unibrow. Pinch it SUPER DUPER HARD. Pinch it for several minutes. Make sure you're not just pinching skin.

Thank you. I was wondering...

...for two days. Don’t tilt your head back if it’s a chronic problem. It won’t do shit if you have a regular nose bleed for a few minutes.

Idk the guy but probably a facial injury which had the same effects/results as a nosebleed would.

Also we have no idea how many sons Attila had. Other than the recorded ones, which inherited prominent position, which is like 5.
flavivsaetivs
He was found with blood running out his nose, dead, in the morning.

He had cirrhosis of the liver and a blood vessel burst, and he drowned in his sleep. At least that's the theory.

TheMossWillInheritTheEarth
Dumb question, but to clarify: Do you mean to pinch where it would close your nose or press on the bone? I'm honestly not sure how you mean.
TonyBeck
The bone.
pizzacat3
Right at the edge of the bone so your still pinching your nose shut
hechicera84
Pinch it so you stopped the bleeding so it can clot.

Basically pinch your nostrils shut.

Blood just travels backwards instead. So it ends up in your mouth and it could end up in your lungs or stomach.

Lean forward, stick a tampon up your nose, wait.
LouPole101
Apply tourniquet to neck above the voice box. Bleeding will stop in less than a minute.

Tilt your head forward over a basin don't sniff it back up just wait for it to stop. If it's still bleeding 20 minutes later go see an ENT

As someone who gets regular seasonal nosebleeds, if I did that, I would probably miss 2-3 days of work every winter.

Just put pressure on it like any other bleeding thing.

Like vaginas?

Lean forward slightly, pinch nose for 10-15 mins. If still bleeding, repeat another 10-15. After that, hospital if not clear.

Pinch hard. If your hand does hurt after 1 minute, it is not hard enough.

Just let it run its course, the vessel which ruptured will clot on its own.
