Brief summary

This study aims to compare the hemodynamic effect of dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to lidocaine in preemptive peribulbar block in patients undergoing Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) under general anaesthesia (GA) .

Detailed description

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a delicate ophthalmic surgical procedure aimed at reestablishing the patency of the nasolacrimal duct in patients suffering from nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). Magnesium is a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors antagonist, and it can decrease the excitatory post synaptic currents produced by activation of NMDA receptors and it inhibits voltage gated calcium channels. Dexmedetomidine alpha-2 agonist, which stimulates both central and peripheral alpha-2 receptors which inhibits neuronal firing and inhibits release of C-fibers transmitters such as norepinephrine which inhibits nerve fiber action potential and explains the antinociceptive effects of dexmedetomidine.

Interventions

Patients will receive 5 ml of lidocaine 2% + 50 µg dexmedetomidine, with a total volume of 7 ml.

DRUGLidocaine + Magnesium sulphate

Patients will receive 5 ml of lidocaine 2% + 100 mg magnesium sulphate 10%, with a total volume of 7 ml.

DRUGLidocaine

Patients will receive 7 ml of lidocaine 2% with no further additives.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in mean arterial blood pressureTill the end of surgery (Up to 2 hours)The change in mean arterial blood pressure will be recorded at baseline, after induction of anesthesia, immediately before peribulbar block, after block administration, at skin incision, during osteotomy and lacrimal sac manipulation (oculocardiac reflexes-provoking steps), and every 5 minutes thereafter until the end of surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Heart rateTill the end of surgery (Up to 2 hours)Heart rate will be recorded at baseline, after induction of anesthesia, immediately before peribulbar block, after block administration, at skin incision, during osteotomy and lacrimal sac manipulation (oculocardiac reflexes-provoking steps), and every 5 minutes thereafter until the end of surgery.
Oxygen saturationTill the end of surgery (Up to 2 hours)Oxygen saturation will be recorded at baseline, after induction of anesthesia, immediately before peribulbar block, after block administration, at skin incision, during osteotomy and lacrimal sac manipulation (oculocardiac reflexes-provoking steps), and every 5 minutes thereafter until the end of surgery.
Degree of patient satisfaction24 hours postoperativelyDegree of patient satisfaction will be assessed on a 5-point Likert scale patient satisfaction (1, extremely dissatisfied; 2, unsatisfied; 3, neutral; 4, satisfied; 5, extremely satisfied)
Degree of surgeon satisfaction24 hours postoperativelyDegree of surgeon satisfaction will be assessed on a 5-point Likert scale patient satisfaction (1, extremely dissatisfied; 2, unsatisfied; 3, neutral; 4, satisfied; 5, extremely satisfied)
