Comparison between magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine in controlled hypotension during functional endoscopic sinus surgery

[Comparison between magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine in controlled hypotension during functional endoscopic sinus surgery].

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It is crucial to decrease bleeding during functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Our primary goal was to investigate the effects of magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine used for controlled hypotension on the visibility of the surgical site. METHODS 60 patients aged between 18 and 65 years were enrolled. In the magnesium sulfate group (Group M), patients were administe...

Comparison of Dexmedetomidine-Isoflurane versus Fentanyl-Propofol based anesthesia for controlled hypotension in functional endoscopic sinus surgery

Comparison of the Effects of Dexmedetomidine and Labetalol on Controlled Hypotension in Maxillofacial Surgery

Background & objectives: The use of controlled hypotension is important to reduce bleeding in some surgeries. This study aimed to determine the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) and labetalol for induced hypotension in maxillofacial fractures surgery. Methods: In this triple-blind randomized controlled clinical trial study, the patients with maxillofacial fractures were randomly divided into two...

Dexmedetomidine Efficacy in Quality of Surgical Field During Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Introduction: Blood loss is a common concern during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in intraoperative bleeding and surgical field in FESS.   Materials and Methods: This double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 72 patients within the age range of 16-60 years who underwent ...

Induced hypotension for functional endoscopic sinus surgery: A comparative study of dexmedetomidine versus esmolol

OBJECTIVE A comparative study to evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine as a hypotensive agent in comparison to esmolol in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). METHODS Forty patients ASA I or II scheduled for FESS were equally randomly assigned to receive either dexmedetomidine 1 μg/Kg over 10 min before induction of anesthesia followed by 0.4-0.8 μg/Kg/h infusion during maintenance ...
