Brief summary

compare intranasal dexmedetomidine versus intravenous dexmedetomidine for improving quality of the operative field in Functional endoscopic sinus surgery

Detailed description

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a well-established therapeutic option for intractable CRS and other indications. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure and is commonly performed under controlled hypotensive anesthesia. In case of major bleeding, risk of complications such as meningitis, blindness, intracranial injury, cerebrospinal fluid leakage and the duration of surgery increase. Intraoperative bleeding is the most common factor that diminishes visibility, resulting in an increased incidence of complications. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2 adreno-receptor agonist with higher affinity to a2 adreno-receptor than clonidine, and this makes dexmedetomidine primarily sedative and anxiolytic.The elimination half-life of dexmedetomidine (t1/2b) is 2 h and the redistribution half-life (t1/2a) is 6 min, and this short half-life makes it an ideal drug for intravenous titration. Intranasal Dexmedetomidine is convenient, effective, and noninvasive and also has useful analgesic and sedative effects in surgical procedures. Cheung's research has shown that intranasal Dexmedetomidine 1 and 1.5 micro/kg in surgical procedures produced significant sedation and less postoperative pain. Several previous research were determined the effect of intranasal dexmedetomidine in several clinical evaluations

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Improving quality of the operative field24 hours postoperativePatients' satisfaction will be measured immediately postoperative and after 24 hours using a five-point Likert scale consisting of very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, unsure, satisfied, and very satisfied.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Heart rate will be evaluatedevery 5 min till the end of procedureHeart rate will be recorded at baseline and every 5 min till the end of procedure
Mean arterial blood pressure will be evaluated.every 5 min till the end of procedureMean arterial blood pressure will be recorded at baseline and every 5 min till the end of procedure
Pain score will be evaluated.24 hour postoperativelyPain score will be evaluated measured with Numerical rating scale The numerical scale is most commonly 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain imaginable
Adverse reactions of hemostatic stuffing after FESS will be evaluated.24 hour postoperatively1=no swelling, can tolerate; 2= swelling, can barely tolerate; 3= swelling, cannot tolerate
