Clinical Trial Summary

Pain is particularly common after nasal surgery, especially when bone manipulation and periosteal irritation are involved. Appropriate pain control is an important consideration in the post-surgical management of patients.


Description:

Multiple researches and clinical observations suggest that pain reduction can be achieved in nasal surgery by using local anesthesia.The combination of local anesthetic infiltration, directly in the surgical field, with general anesthesia provides beneficial analgesic effects by blocking nociceptive pathways, and there by it reduces the need for systemic analgesics.

The use of α-2 Adrenergic receptor (adrenoceptor) agonists in anesthesia were the focus of interest for their sedative, analgesic, and perioperative sympatholytic and cardiovascular stabilizing effects with reduced anesthetic requirements. α-2 agonists, inhibit substance P release in the nociceptive pathway at the level of the dorsal root neuron; in addition, α-2 adrenergic receptors located at nerve endings may have a role in the analgesic effect of the drug by preventing norepinephrine release.

In this study, the combined effects of dexmedetomidine with bupivacaine as local anesthetics vs bupivacaine, will be investigated in septoplasty to determine the need for rescue drugs as propanlol and nitroglycerine, as hypotensive agents,for bloodless surgical field and optimal procedure for pain control

Study Design


Intervention

Drug:
Dexmedetomidine
Dexmedetomidine, a potent a-2 adrenoceptor agonist, is approximately 8 times more selective toward the a-2 adrenoceptors than clonidine. Patients will receive 0.25% bupivacaine (with an average dose of 1-1.5 mg/kg) + 0.2 µg/kg dexmedetomidine preincisional local infiltration of the nasal mucosa.
Bupivacaine
patients will receive 0.25% bupivacaine (with an average dose of 1-1.5 mg/kg) preincisional local infiltration of the nasal mucosa.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The precentage of patients that will take rescue drugs as nitroglycerin, propranolol. the number of patients that will need rescue drugs: propranolol 1mg will be given then after 15 minutes (with no improvement of the surgical field) nitroglycerin (NTG) infusion will be added in a titrated manner 0.1-0.5 µg/kg/min gradually till the target MAP (±60 mmHg) is reached. 3 hours
