Improved quality of surgical field during endoscopic sinus surgery after clonidine premedication—a pilot study

Abstract

Premedication with clonidine before ESS provides better quality of surgical field and more favorable hemodynamic profile as compared to melatonin.

Clinical outcome and patient satisfaction using biodegradable (NasoPore) and non-biodegradable packing, a double-blind, prospective, randomized study

“…To minimize bleeding and optimize the surgical field, the procedure used premedication with clonidine and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), as described previously. 13 Preoperatively, all of the patients received intravenous antibiotics (cefuroxime 1.5 g). At the end of the surgery, the surgeon was informed by the nurse of which side to use the NasoPore, which was randomly assigned.…”

Intranasal atomised dexmedetomidine optimises surgical field visualisation with decreased blood loss during endoscopic sinus surgery: a randomized study

“…Intravenous or oral premedication with clonidine, an α-2 adrenoceptor agonist, effectively reduces bleeding (5) , shortens surgical times (6) , and provides better visualisation of the surgical field and a more favourable haemodynamic profile (7) during ESS.…”

“…Intravenous or oral premedication with clonidine, an α-2 adrenoceptor agonist, effectively reduces bleeding (5) , shortens surgical times (6) , and provides better visualisation of the surgical field and a more favourable haemodynamic profile (7) during ESS. Furthermore, peripheral or local administration of clonidine has also proven helpful in regional anaesthesia, neuraxial blockade, and intra-articular analgesia (8) .…”
