Ayoung woman suffered an out-of-hospital hemorrhage in her parents' home one week after having undergone tonsillectomy. She was initially awake when the emergency medical service personnel arrived. But because of severe aspiration of blood, she quickly became hypoxemic and required cardiac resuscitation. Endotracheal intubation failed so that airway had to be secured by means of cricothryrotomy. Under resuscitation care, she was taken to the university hospital. Despite surgical exploration of the pharyngeal and collar region as well as advanced life support, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) could not be achieved and the patient died. On the basis of this case report, an attempt is made to include all emergency procedures that are necessary in posttonsillectomy hemorrhage such as difficult airway management, bleeding control and hemodynamic support into auseful algorithm.
