Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia by means of blood loss during endoscopic sinus surgery.
The purpose of the present investigation is to examine whether induced hypotension with propofol or sevoflurane anesthesia improves the dryness of surgical field in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). ⋯ General anesthesia based on propofol infusion may have the advantage of decreased bleeding compared with conventional inhalation agents. Therefore, making endoscopic surgery technically easier and safer by improving endoscopic visualization of the surgical field.
