Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of perioperative remifentanil with controlled hypotension on intraoperative bleeding and postoperative edema and ecchymosis in open rhinoplasty.
This randomized, double-blind study was designed to assess the effect of perioperative remifentanil with controlled hypotension on intraoperative bleeding, postoperative edema, and ecchymosis. ⋯ Remifentanil with controlled hypotension may reduce edema and ecchymosis of the upper and lower eyelids, by reducing mean arterial pressure and amount of bleeding in rhinoplasty.
