Clinical Trial Summary

It is unknown whether different end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure levels have a clinically significant effect on bleeding and surgical field quality in septorhinoplasty, especially during controlled hypotension. Therefore, it was aimed to investigate the effect of ventilation strategy with controlled hypocapnia on intraoperative bleeding and surgical field quality for commonly practiced in septorhinoplasty.

Description:

Septorhinoplasty is one of the most common esthetic surgeries in the world. The septorhinoplasty is accompanied by insignificant bleeding on the surgical field. Excessive bleeding compromises the surgical field quality and makes more difficult the septorhinoplasty. It is very important to control and minimize excessive bleeding in surgical field by different approaches of anesthesia management. Successful approaches to reduce the excessive bleeding are; controlled hypotension by keeping the mean arterial pressure in the range of 60-70 mmHg, the reverse Trendelenburg position of the patient, administration of adrenaline (injection prior to surgery or packing soaked during surgery), and administration of tranexamic acid, which are applicable methods in many clinical centers. Cardiac output may vary depending on the autonomic nervous system. The dominance of parasympathetic system effect may cause vasodilation, decrease in blood pressure and cardiac output. This vasodilation may increase bleeding during septorhinoplasty and worsen the surgical field quality. Anesthesia management may provide a clear view for the surgeon and an improved surgical field quality. The effect of carbon dioxide on vascular reactivity deserves an extra attention in septorhinoplasty required bleeding control. The intensity of bleeding in septorhinoplasty is mainly affected by mean arterial pressure and heart rate. At the same time, blood flow can be affected directly by carbon dioxide on the smooth muscular tonus of the arterioles. After all, it is unknown whether different carbon dioxide pressure levels have a clinically significant effect on bleeding and surgical field quality in septorhinoplasty, especially during controlled hypotension. Therefore, it was aimed to investigate the effect of ventilation strategy with controlled hypocapnia on intraoperative bleeding and surgical field quality for commonly practiced in septorhinoplasty.

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
• The amount of intraoperative bleeding
Total amount of intraoperative bleeding will be calculated in milliliters after the end of surgery.
• Quality of the intraoperative surgical field
Quality of the intraoperative surgical field will be measured on a grade of 0-10 (0-1. no bleeding, 2-3. mild bleeding, 4-5. Mild to moderate bleeding, 6-7. moderate bleeding, 8-9. moderate to severe bleeding, 10. Severe bleeding)
• Surgeon Satisfaction
Surgeon Satisfaction will be measured on a grade of 0-5 (1= very bad, 2= bad, 3= moderate, 4= good, 5= very good).
• Heart rate
From beginning of Anesthesia induction to the end of anesthesia (during perioperative period)
• Mean arterial pressure
From beginning of Anesthesia induction to the end of anesthesia (during perioperative period)
• Peripheral oxygen saturation
From beginning of Anesthesia induction to the end of anesthesia (during perioperative period)
