Summary

This work aims to compare lidocaine and dexmedetomidine infusions for intraoperative bleeding in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Detailed description

Sinus surgery is one of the most prevalent surgeries on the ear, nose, and throat (ENT). It is mainly carried out through endoscopy and significantly improves the clinical symptoms of patients with rhinosinusitis. Safe conditions must be maintained for this surgery, and the major problem reported during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) under general anesthesia (GA) is impaired visibility due to excessive bleeding. Dexmedetomidine is an α2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, sympatholytic, analgesic-sparing effects and minimal depression of respiratory function. It is potent and highly selective for α2-receptors. Lidocaine is an amino amide-type short-acting local anesthetic (LA). It has a short half-life and a favorable safety profile and is,, therefore,, the LA of choice for continuous IV administration.

TypeNameDescription
DRUGLidocainePatients will receive lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg loading then 1mg/kg/h infusion) just after induction of anesthesia induction and continued until the end of the operation.
DRUGDexmedetomidinePatients will receive 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine infusion over 10 min as a loading dose then 0.4-0.7 μg/kg/h just after induction of anesthesia induction and continued until the end of the operation.
