Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided sphenopalatine ganglion block on post-operative pain for 24 hours and surgical field visualization during surgery in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery.Timepoint: 24 hours post operatively	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To study the hemodynamic response to sphenopalatine ganglion block in FESS surgeryTimepoint: Intraoperatively;• To compare the blood loss with the patients receiving sphenopalatine ganglion block & those who are not receiving block.Timepoint: intraoperatively;• To compare post-operative & intraoperative analgesia consumption among the patients receiving sphenopalatine ganglion block & those not receiving block.Timepoint: 24 hrs post operatively	—
