Clinical Trial Summary

Comparing of nasal packing DEX and IV DEX for controlling the intraoperative bleeding after turbinate surgery.

Description:

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a highly selective α2 adreno-receptor agonist with higher affinity to a2 adreno-receptor than clonidine, and this makes DEX primarily sedative and anxiolytic. The elimination half-life of DEX (t1/2b) is 2 h and the redistribution half-life (t1/2a) is 6 min, and this short half-life makes it an ideal drug for intravenous titration. Potentially desirable effects include decreased requirements for other anesthetics and analgesics.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Amount of intraoperative blood loss	Measuring the volume of suctioned blood in graduated columns, which will contain an anticoagulant to prevent coagulation and clotting and weighing gauze sponges.	Intraoperative up to 6hours
Secondary	Pain score	Visual analogue scale (VAS) (0, no discomfort and no pain; 10, a high level of discomfort and maximum pain)	24 hours postoperative
Secondary	Quality of intraoperative surgical field	Quality of intraoperative surgical field during after turbinate surgery will be evaluated by the surgeons by rating the amount of bleeding according to a 6-point scale by Formmer's scores of surgical field quality (0= no bleeding; 1= bleeding, so mild it was not even a surgical nuisance; 2= moderate bleeding, a nuisance but without interference; 3= moderate bleeding that moderately compromised surgical; 4= bleeding, heavy but controllable, that significantly interfered; 5= massive uncontrollable bleeding)	Intraoperative up to 6hours
Secondary	Patient's general satisfaction	Patients' satisfaction will be measured immediately postoperative and using a five-point Likert scale consisting of "very dissatisfied," "dissatisfied," "unsure," "satisfied," and "very satisfied.	24 hours postoperative
