Controlled hypotension with desflurane combined with esmolol or dexmedetomidine during tympanoplasty in adults: A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial

Abstract: Both esmolol and dexmedetomidine, combined with desflurane, provided an effective and well-tolerated method of achieving controlled hypotension to limit the amount of blood in the surgical field in these adult patients undergoing tympanoplasty. Esmolol was associated with significantly shorter extubation and recovery times and significantly less postoperative sedation compared with dexmedetomidine.

“…The procedures related to ear are very sensitive to stimulations particularly during the surgery, so creating a setting with minimal movements is inevitable which requires relatively deep anesthesia. Various sedative and hypnotic drugs have been used in numerous studies for middle ear surgery to facilitate the operation till now [1,2,[6][7][8][9]. In recent years, it has been shown that intravenous administration of Propofol in middle ear surgery has led to better condition during operation [1].…”

“…Some of the studies shown that dexmedetomidine decreases the bleeding in surgeries with minimal hemodynamic alteration. [6,8,9,12] Nitroglycerin is a nitric oxide releaser which causes peripheral vasodilation by selectively dilating the venous capacitance vessels with reduction in venous return to the heart resulting in systemic hypotension. But there may be reflex tachycardia partially mitigating the beneficial effects of hypotension.…”
