Management of severe postnasal haemorrhage: the Kingsley splint revisited.

Postnasal haemorrhage accompanying severe craniofacial trauma may have catastrophic consequences if not arrested promptly. The airway has usually been secured and the cervical spine stabilized, but apart from fluid replacement, other attempts to control haemorrhage in the resuscitation room of the accident and emergency department may be to no avail. We wish to draw attention to a simple device that was introduced over 100 years ago and which may rapidly aid haemostasis and prevent the onset of hypovolaemic shock.

A prospective, controlled, randomized trial comparing early active extension with passive extension using a dynamic splint in the rehabilitation of repaired extensor tendons.

This prospective, randomized, controlled trial compared two methods of rehabilitating extensor tendon repairs in zones IV-VIII. Group A patients followed an early active mobilization regimen and Group B patients followed a dynamic splintage regimen. Data on 19 patients in Group A and 17 patients in Group B were collected at 4 weeks and at final follow-up (3 months median follow-up for both groups). Extension lag, flexion deficit and total active motion (TAM) were measured. At 4 weeks, patients in Group B had a better TAM (median 87%, range 56-102%) compared to patients in Group A (median 77%, range 52-97%). At final follow-up, there were no significant differences in the results of the two groups. There were no ruptures in either group.
