Abstract
Introduction: In rhinoplasty surgery, many factors are effective in obtaining the desired result. Among these factors, we can mention the accuracy and observation of the surgeon, the analysis of the existing anatomy, the choice of surgical technique, the degree of soft tissue and cartilage trauma, the amount of bleeding, the quality of surgical instruments and anesthesia, and everything that is effective in reducing bleeding. Therefore, this study conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine on the amount of bleeding, surgeon satisfaction and hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty surgery.
Methods: This double-blind randomized clinical trial study conducted on 50 patients aged 15 to 65 (in two groups of 25) with anesthesia class 1 and 2, patients undergoing septorhinoplasty surgery under general anesthesia at Motahari Hospital in Jahrom. Patients were randomly divided into two groups (control = placebo) and intervention (dexmedetomidine). Vital signs, sedation, level of pain, bleeding and satisfaction of the surgeon were evaluated. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tests using spss version 20 software. A significance level of P<0.05% was considered.
Discussion: This study investigated the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine on the amount of bleeding, surgeon satisfaction and hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty surgery, so that by examining the results of this study and determining the effect of dexmedetomidine, this drug can be used to prevent hemodynamic changes and reduce the incidence of Possible side effects during operation in septorhinoplasty surgery.
