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

Background: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), effective control of bleeding is essential to maintain a clear operative field and to minimize complications. Intraoperative bleeding is one of the major problems in endoscopic surgery of sinuses. Controlled hypotension is a technique used to limit intraoperative blood loss to provide the best possible field for surgery. Objective: The objective of study was role of Hypotensive Anaesthesia in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery and designed to compare intraoperative hemorrhage and the visibility of the operative field during normotension and hypotension anesthesia. Methods: Prospective randomized study includes a total of 60 ASA I-II patients who underwent elective FESS surgery. Patients randomly assigned in two groups the hypotension group (Group A) and the normotension group (Group B). Intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) were recorded. Results : This study shows the mean ages of the patients of group A group B were 33.36±7.61 and 32.46±7.73 years respectively. No statistically significant difference was observed among groups at 0.05 level in term of age. The mean heart rate pre-anaesthesia and preoperative among the patients of different groups in different follows up period. Significance differences were observed among groups in term of heart rate at 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 45 minute and 60 minute. The mean arterial mean blood pressure before pre-anaesthesia and preoperative estimation among the patients of different groups in different follows up period. Significance differences were observed among groups at 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 45 minute and 60 minute. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Controlled hypotension can be achieved equally and effectively by nitroglycerin and labetalol reduced significantly intraoperative hemorrhage and produce hypotensive anesthesia. Both are equally effective in providing ideal surgical field during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2018; 24(1): 8-13

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.
