Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the proportion of patients achieving satisfactoy surgical field, who are recieving either of dexemedetomidine, nitroglycerin or esmolol for controlled hypotension in functional endoscopic sinus surgery under general anaestesiaTimepoint: After start of surgery surgical field score will be assessed by surgeon every 15 minutes till the end of surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare among 3 groups: 1. Amount of intraoperative blood loss 2. Hemodynamic profile( mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate) 3. Incidence of hypotension, bradycardia, postopererative nausea and vomiting and postoperative sedation Timepoint: intraoperative period and post operative period of one hour
