Assessment of POH
POH was defined as oozing requiring the patient to bite down on gauze as compression for hemostasis or oozing or severe bleeding for which,despite gauze compression by the patient,hemostasis could not be achieved and requiring hemostatic management by an oral maxillofacial surgeon(eg,compression,hematoma removal,insertion of oxidized cellulose,and resuturing,electrocautery,and splinting)
A telephone call was made,in the evening of the day of the extraction and the following morning,to the nurse in charge at the patient's hospital ward to inquire about postoperative hemostasis.Hemostasis was assessed from 30 minutes to 1week after extraction.
