Brief summary

Intranasal dexmedetomidine provided good pharmacokinetic profile. However, intravenous dexmedetomidine have been used in functional endoscopic sinus surgery for several outcomes, there is lack in studies that had compared the efficacy of intravenous and Intranasal Dexmedetomidine for improving quality of the operative field in functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Therefore, we established this randomized study to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine with intravenous dexmedetomidine improving quality of the operative field in functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Interventions

DRUGIntranasal dexmedetomidine

45 -60 min before the operation, patients will receive dose of dexmedetomidine 1microgram/kg diluted in 10ml 0.9% saline administered to each naris as drops + infusion saline

patients will receive loading dose of dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg diluted in 10ml 0.9% saline infused over 45- 60 min before induction of anesthesia, followed by continuous infusion of (0.4 µ g/kg/h) + intranasal saline.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Improving quality of the operative field.during surgery (intraoperatively) 2 hoursQuality of intraoperative surgical field during functional endoscopic sinus surgery will be evaluated by the surgeons by rating the amount of bleeding according to a 6-point scale by Formmer's scores of surgical field quality (0= no bleeding; 1= bleeding, so mild it was not even a surgical nuisance; 2= moderate bleeding, a nuisance but without interference; 3= moderate bleeding that moderately compromised surgical; 4= bleeding, heavy but controllable, that significantly interfered; 5= massive uncontrollable bleeding.
Amount of atropine consumptionFirst 24 hours postoperativelyThe total amount of atropine consumed will be recorded

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain scoreFirst 24 hours postoperativelyPain measured with VAS: (visual analogue scale) will be assessed in post anesthesia care unit, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, and 24hours postoperative. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be'). patients are asked to rate their current level of pain by placing a mark on the line.
Hemodynamics(Heart rate (bpm))2 hoursHeart rate (bpm), at base line, 5minute, 10 minute , 30 minute, 45 minute, 60 minute after patient received intranasal and after infusion of loading dose of dexmedetomidine , 5, 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes after induction of anesthesia, at end of surgery and 30 minute after recovery.
hemostatic stuffing24 hours postoperativelyThe degree of adverse reactions of hemostatic stuffing after functional endoscopic sinus surgery will be also evaluated (1=no swelling, can tolerate; 2= swelling, can barely tolerate; 3= swelling, cannot tolerate).
Adverse events24 postoperativelyAdverse events will be recorded such as nausea, vomiting, hypotension and bradycardia.
Hemodynamics(Mean arterial blood pressure mm Hg))2 hoursMean arterial blood pressure mm Hg) at base line, 5minute, 10 minute , 30 minute, 45 minute, 60 minute after patient received intranasal and after infusion of loading dose of dexmedetomidine , 5, 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes after induction of anesthesia, at end of surgery and 30 minute after recovery.
