Emergencies in the field of otorhinolaryngology require effective treatment and calmness of healthcare professionals. Gathering information, monitoring vital parameters, recognizing threatening signs, timely action, caring care and patient education are important roles in the nurse's work. Emergencies in the field of otology include sudden deafness, perforation of the eardrum and foreign bodies in the ear. Sudden hearing loss is often of unknown cause and needs to be treated as early as possible. Foreign bodies of the ear of organic origin should be extracted as soon as possible due to possible swelling and inflammation of the ear. In case of traumatic perforation of the eardrum, the ear should be kept dry, and the infection should be treated with antibiotics. In rhinology, the most common emergencies include epistaxis, nasal/sinus injuries, and nasal foreign bodies. Epistaxis most often occurs from one nostril and can potentially be life-threatening. It is important to find out the cause, time of onset of bleeding and the list of drugs used. If conservative treatment methods fail, surgical treatment is indicated. If a septal hematoma is identified in the case of nasal trauma or the cerebrospinal fluid leakage does not subside in the case of paranasal sinuses trauma, drainage and the use of antibiotics are of great importance. After removing foreign bodies from the nose, attention should be paid to examining the ear and sinuses on the affected side. Pharyngological emergencies include pharyngeal foreign bodies and bleeding after tonsillectomy. After removing the foreign body of the pharynx, the purulent secretion should be drained and the wounds washed, and if there was a perforation, primary closure can be attempted. Bleeding after tonsillectomy can be treated at the patient's bedside or surgically. When it is impossible to clean the clot in the wound, it is necessary to check the bleeding point in detail. Emergencies in laryngology such as acute epiglottis, acute swelling of the larynx and foreign body in the larynx always require prompt assessment and maintenance of the airway with parallel treatment. To establish the airway, the following are used: nasotracheal or endotracheal intubation and conicotomy or tracheotomy. After tracheotomy, toileting of the stoma, care of the surrounding skin and education are important. Tracheal foreign bodies are removed endoscopically. For choking on a foreign body, the person who is coughing should be encouraged and not intervened until the cough becomes ineffective, the victim becomes cyanotic, or loses consciousness. In case of ingestion of a caustic substance, equipment for endotracheal intubation and cricothyrotomy should be provided, and the patient should be triaged as a priority. Key factors in determining treatment for patients with swallowed foreign bodies include the type and number of objects, location, time of ingestion, and onset of symptoms.
