[Considerations about ENT emergencies. Analysis of 30000 patients assisted in 10 years].

OBJECTIVE
To know those pathologies that require more frequently urgent medical assistance and what percentage of them could have been treated in health centers or outpatient clinics of our speciality.


MATERIAL AND METHODS
Retrospective study of 30,000 patients attended in the Emergency department by our on call ENT specialist between 1993 and 2002.


RESULTS
In general, epistaxis (12.98%), nasal traumas (10.26%) and external otitis (6.92%) were the clinical entities more common, representing the nasal and otological pathology more than 63% of the assisted emergencies.


CONCLUSIONS
We demonstrate and emphasize an increment in the recent demand from patients of the emergency department. Several final considerations at that respect are pointed.
