Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Hemostasis success rate (presence or absence of re-bleeding after initial emergency department management until otolaryngology evaluation on the following day).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Subjective Mental Workload (SMWL) score: mental demand, physical demand, time pressure, performance, effort, and frustration. Pain score (10-point scale). Procedure-related complications (e.g., mucosal injury, re-bleeding). Identification of the bleeding site during initial management and accuracy confirmed by otolaryngologist evaluation. Treatment accuracy of initial care as assessed by otolaryngologists. Association of patient background factors (age, sex, blood pressure, use of antiplatelet/anticoagulant agents) with persistent bleeding.	—
