To Compare the Efficacy of Dexmedetomidine Versus Labetalol in Providing Controlled Hypotension in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Background: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a surgical intervention for sinus diseases. Bleeding is a common concern during FESS. Hemodynamic stability and quality surgical field visibility help to achieve the best outcomes. Objectives: The present study primarily intended to compare the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine versus labetalol in providing controlled hypotension during FESS and then to assess the quality of the surgical field. Methods: The current research was conducted as a prospective randomized double-blinded clinical study. Sixty patients of the American Society of Anesthesiologists grade I or II status undergoing FESS under general anesthesia were divided into two groups, each with 30 members. Patients receiving dexmedetomidine and labetalol were named as group D and L, respectively. The study intended to manage mean arterial pressure (MAP) between 65 - 75 mmHg. The visibility of the operative field was evaluated using Fromme and Boezaart scoring system. Total intraoperative fentanyl consumption and postoperative first analgesic request time were recorded. Results: The MAP target was achieved in both groups. Intergroup differences concerning MAP were observed in both D (75.0 ± 2.0) and L (82.4 ± 5.2) groups (P-value < 0.05). Scores for blood loss were significantly lower in the D group (1.3 ± 0.3) compared to the L group (2.1 ± 0.3) (P-value < 0.05). There was no intergroup difference concerning the mean heart rate (group D; 70.8 ± 4.2, and group L; 73.4 ± 4.4). The total dose of fentanyl consumed was found to be significantly lower in the group D (41.9 ± 5.8) compared to group L (59.9 ± 5.3) (P-value < 0.05). The first analgesic request time was significantly longer in the group D (50.2 ± 9.1) compared to group L (24.8 ± 5.1) (P-value < 0.05). Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine provided better hemodynamic stability and operative field visibility as compared to labetalol during FESS.

Background: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) requires effective control of bleeding for better visibility of the operating field and reduced risk of injury to the optic nerve or the internal carotid artery. Controlled hypotension is a technique used to limit intraoperative blood loss to provide the best possible field for surgery. Objectives: Our study is undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine as a hypotensive agent in comparison to esmolol in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). Methods: Sixty (60) patients 20 – 50 years of age, ASA I/II scheduled for FESS were randomly assigned to two equal groups of 30 patients each. Patients of group D received dexmedetomidine 1µg/kg over 10 min before induction of anesthesia followed by 0.4 – 0.8 µg/kg/hr infusion during maintenance and group E received esmolol loading dose 1mg/kg was infused over one min followed by 0.4 – 0.8 mg/kg/hr infusion during maintenance to maintain mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) between (55 – 65 mmHg). The surgical field was assessed using Average Category Scale and average blood loss was calculated. Hemodynamic variables (MAP, HR); intraoperative fentanyl consumption and total recovery from anesthesia (Aldrete’s score ≥9) were recorded. Sedation score was determined at 10, 20, 30, 40 & 60 min after tracheal extubation and time to first analgesic demand was also recorded. Results:In both group D and group E reached the desired MAP (55–65 mmHg) with no inter group difference in MAP or HR. Mean intraoperative fentanyl consumption was significantly lower in group D than group E. Recovery time to achieved Aldrete’s score ≥9 were significantly lower in group E compared with group D.The sedation score were significantly lower in group E compared with group D at 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes postoperatively. Time to first analgesic demand was significantly longer in group D. Conclusion: The result of this study showed that both dexmedetomidine and esmolol can be used as agents for controlled hypotension and are effective in providing ideal surgical field during FESS. But dexmedetomidine offers the advantage of inherent analgesic, sedative and anesthetic sparing effect. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2018; 24(1): 37-49

Abstract Background Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) has been employed as a surgical intervention to treat chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with no response to drug therapy, during which the surgical vision may be greatly reduced by a small amount of bleeding. There by, the intraoperative controlled hypotension can improve the visibility. While excessive bleeding intraoperative cause serious complications in the postoperative period, including eye socket infections, visual acuity damage, meningeal infections, and other. Objective Induced hypotension limits intra operative (IO) blood loss provides better visibility of the surgical field and diminishes the incidence of major complications during Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). We aimed at comparing Nitroglycerine; Magnesium Sulfate and Dexmedetomidine for inducing controlled hypotension and evaluate narcotic used, mac of inhalational anesthesia, and Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) in the recovery and pre-anesthetic time in patients undergoing Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). Patients and Methods This study was conducted on 75 patients who underwent elective functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) who matched the inclusion criteria and were randomly allocated into 3 groups each containing 25 patients. The first group received loading dose of dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg infused over 10 min before induction of anesthesia then 0.7 μg/kg/h via syringe pump, second group received nitroglycerine infusion at a dose of 2μg/kg/min according to the response started after induction, intubation, positioning and sterilization of the patient and third group received a loading dose of magnesium sulfate 40 mg/kg over 10 minutes followed by an infusion 15mg/kg/h via syringe pump. Results The result of our study showed that dexmedetomidine, magnesium sulfate, or nitroglycerine successfully induced deliberate hypotension and were effective in providing good surgical field during FESS, but dexmedetomidine showed superior hemodynamic profile. Compared with nitroglycerine, both dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate offered the advantage of inherent analgesic and sedative effect. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine, magnesium sulfate, or nitroglycerine successfully induced deliberate hypotension and were effective in providing good surgical field during FESS, but dexmedetomidine showed superior hemodynamic profile. Compared with nitroglycerine, both dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate offered the advantage of inherent analgesic and sedative effect. Dexmedetomidine also showed shorter duration of surgery with less blood loss and favorable frommer score with more surgeon satisfaction. Dexmedetomidine showed longest time to 1st analgesic rescue in PACU comparing with magnesium sulfate and nitroglycerine. So, it’s advised to use dexmedetomidine to induce hypotension than magnesium sulfate and nitroglycerine. However, dexmedetomidine should be used with caution as it caused hypotension and bradycardia, t had sedative effect with low aldert score comparing with nitroglycerine and magnesium sulfate.

Background: A comparative study to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous Dexmedetomidine as a hypotensive agent in comparison to oral Clonidine in Endoscopic Nasal Surgery or Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS).Methods: Forty patients ASA I or II scheduled for Endoscopic Nasal Surgery were equally randomly assigned to receive either dexmedetomidine 1μg/Kg over 10 min before induction of anesthesia followed by 0.5μg/Kg/h infusion during maintenance (Group D), or oral Clonidine (Group C) 2µg/kg with minimal water 1 hour prior starting of surgery. Rescue bolus doses of Propofol (10mg/dose) were given to maintain mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) between (50-70mmHg). General anesthesia was maintained with Isoflurane 1%-2%. The surgical field was assessed using Average Category Scale. Hemodynamic variables (MAP and HR) were recorded at 10 minutes interval.Results: Both group C and group D reached the desired MAP (50-70mmHg) with no intergroup differences in HR but a statistically significant lower MAP was noticed in group C. The quality of the surgical field in the range of MAP (50-70mmHg) were 2-3 as per average category Scale with significantly lower score in Group C. Mean intraoperative propofol consumption was significantly higher in group D than C group.Conclusions: Both Dexmedetomidine or oral clonidine with isoflurane are safe agents for controlled hypotension, but oral clonidine provides lower MAP and better surgical field. Compared with Dexmedetomidine, oral clonidine offers the advantage of less consumption of propofol.

AbstractBackground:Intra-operative bleeding diminishes visualisation during functional endoscopic sinus surgery and can cause unfavourable outcomes. Dexmedetomidine is a potent alpha-2 agonist, with sympatholytic effects. This systematic review aimed to assess whether dexmedetomidine decreases intra-operative bleeding and improves operative field quality.Methods:All randomised, controlled trials that assessed the ability of dexmedetomidine to provide good operative fields for functional endoscopic sinus surgery were identified from Medline and Embase. The outcomes of interest were: operative field quality, intra-operative bleeding, operative time and adverse events.Results:Five studies (254 patients) met the inclusion criteria. When compared to saline, dexmedetomidine improved the quality of the operative field. The operative time was similar between groups. When compared to other drugs, dexmedetomidine was as effective as esmolol and remifentanil. There were no adverse incidents.Conclusion:Dexmedetomidine is beneficial in providing good visibility during functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Controlled hypotensive anaesthesia with this medicine decreases intra-operative bleeding and enhances surgical field quality.
