Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Adenoidectomy
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
Turbinate Surgery
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02453841
Lead Sponsor
Richard Cartabuke
Brief Summary

This proposed study will assess the hemodynamic effects and measure the systemic absorption of topically applied oxymetazoline in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery, turbinate surgery, or adenoidectomy. These patients will be receiving oxymetazoline as standard of care during the surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Blood Pressure Following Oxymetazoline Administration5 - 150 mins. after administration

Blood pressure was recorded at 5 minute intervals until discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) or the final blood draw (150 mins. after administration), whichever came first.

Heart Rate Following Oxymetazoline Administration.5 - 150 mins. after administration

Heart rate was recorded at 5 minute intervals until discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) or the final blood draw (150 mins. after administration), whichever came first.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Ease of Hemostasisintraoperative

A six point scale (very easy, easy, usual, some effort, difficult, extremely difficult) completed by the surgeon at the end of surgery.

Amount of Bleedingintraoperative

A four point scale (none, minimal, moderate/diffuse ooze, severe/brisk) completed by the surgeon after removal of the oxymetazoline soaked pledgets.
