Conditions

Ear and Nose Surgeries With Hypotensive Anaesthesia e.g FESS , MLS , TURBINECTOMY

Brief summary

The study aims to compare the efficacy, safety and overall effectiveness of dexmedetomidine and dexmedtomidine and ketamine (ketodex) in achieving controlled hypotension during Ear and nose surgeries. \- Assessment the analgesic and sedative role of both drugs.

Interventions

DRUGDexmedetomidine

Loading Dose: Dexmedetomidine is usually administered as a loading dose of 0.25 mcg/kg slowly. Maintenance Dose: After the loading dose, the maintenance infusion rate is typically 0.2 to 0.7 mcg/kg/hour in syringe pump . The exact rate can be adjusted based on the hemodynamics of the patient (blood pressure and heart rate) and the patient's response.

DRUGDexmedetomidine and ketamine ( Ketodex )

Ketodex Group (Combination of Ketamine and Dexmedetomidine) (K): Ketamine Component: Loading Dose: Ketamine is typically given at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg as a bolus injection. Maintenance Dose: A maintenance infusion of 0.2 to 0.5 mg/kg/hour is common to maintain anesthesia in syringe pump. Dexmedetomidine Component: Loading Dose: As with the dexmedetomidine group, a loading dose of 0.25 mcg/kg slowly is administered. Maintenance Dose: The maintenance infusion rate for dexmedetomidine remains 0.2 to 0.7 µg/kg/hour in syringe pump.

Inclusion criteria

* Age Range: Patients aged 18-60 years who are scheduled for elective Ear and nose surgeries requiring controlled hypotensive anesthesia. * ASA Classification: Patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I or II. * Surgical Procedures: Individuals undergoing specific ear and nose surgeries where controlled hypotensive anesthesia is typically indicated. * Stable Cardiovascular Health: Patients with stable cardiovascular function, without significant history of uncontrolled hypertension , hypotension or ischaemic heart diseases.

Exclusion criteria

* Severe Cardiovascular Conditions: Patients with severe cardiovascular diseases such as congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension , arrhythmias or ischaemic heart diseases . * Any cardiac patients. * Respiratory Conditions: Individuals with significant respiratory conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or severe asthma. * Drug Allergies: Patients with known hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to dexmedetomidine, ketamine or any other components of the study drugs. * Pregnancy or Lactation: Pregnant or breastfeeding women, due to potential risks to the fetus or infant. * Chronic Medication Use: Patients on chronic medications that could interfere with blood pressure regulation or interact with the study drugs (e.g., beta-blockers, MAO inhibitors). * Patients with chronic liver or renal diseases. * Psychiatric or Neurological Disorders: Individuals with severe psychiatric or neurological disorders that could impact the study outcomes or the patient's ability to consent. * Substance Abuse: Patients with a history of substance abuse, particularly involving sedatives or opioids, which could affect anesthesia requirements or recovery. * Coagulation Disorders: Individuals with coagulation disorders or on anticoagulant therapy, due to the increased risk of bleeding.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Assessment of hemodynmaic stability6 monthsAssess Hemodynamic Stability: Compare the hemodynamic stability provided by dexmedetomidine and ketodex, focusing on parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored every 5 minutes and we will record the average every 20 minutes intraoperative . This monitoring will help assess the stability of each patient and the safety profile of the anesthetic agents used in the study.
