However the nasal packing has adversed effects, which are nasal obstruction, discomfort, swallowing difficulty, nausea, reduction of middle ear pressure, possibility of middle ear effusion and aggravation of sinusitis, etc. During closed reduction, we inserted IV line (Safti set, Boin medica, Korea, 4mm internal diameter) in both nasal inferior meatus for ventilation.
