Brief Summary

This study is a double blinded,randomized control trial to compare Dexmedetomidine 0.75 µg/kg in 50 ml of saline over 20 minutes followed by 0.3-0.5 µg/kg/hour infusion, Clonidine 1.5 µg/kg in 50 ml of saline over 20 minutes followed by 0.3-0.5 µg/kg/hour infusion and Magnesium sulphate 25mg/kg over 20 minutes followed by an infusion at 5-10 mg/kg/hour for induced hypotension during functional endoscopic sinus surgery in patients belonging to ASA I and II physical status in St John’s medical College and Hospital, Bengaluru. Primary outcome will be comparing the efficacy of these drugs in inducing controlled hypotension. The secondary outcome will be assessing and comparing the improved surgical field visibility, analgesia and post-operative recovery with the use of these drugs.

This study is proposed to compare the efficacy of the three drugs in producing hypotension. Comparison of the three drugs and the resultant evidence may also help in identifying the drug that is more efficacious as well as cost effective.
