The epidemiology of oro-nasal haemorrhage and suffocation in infants admitted to hospital in Scotland over 10 years

Abstract

Haemorrhage from the N/M is rare in infancy. Trauma is commonly involved and child protection concerns often poorly explored. Pulmonary haemorrhage and several cases of ONH were associated with probable airway obstruction. Information, in cases of ONH, is in general recorded badly, and an investigation and management plan are suggested.
