Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Estimate the degree of epistaxis during nasal intubation. Timepoint: after the intervention. Method of measurement: Epistaxis degrees during intubation is classified to 4 degrees 1-No bleeding means No interference with the laryngoscopic view,2- minimal bleeding means Just blood-tinged ETT but no blood on the vocal cords or mouth floor, 3-moderate bleading means Blood on the vocal cords and mouth floor which Interferes with the laryngoscopic view, but is easy to confirm the laryngeal structure,4-severe bleeding means Blood on the vocal cords and mouth floor Hard to visualize the laryngeal structure without suction because of bleeding. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. intraoperative analgesia. Timepoint: whole intraoperative time. Method of measurement: intraoperative analgesia is indicated by intraoperative hemodynamics and total intraoperative fentanyl consumption.;2. intraoperative blood loss from surgical field. Timepoint: intraoperative time. Method of measurement: intraoperative volume of blood loss was estimated. | — |
