Summary

The investigators compared the effects of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine administered under general anesthesia on hemodynamics, postoperative pain, recovery, postoperative nausea, vomiting, shivering, patient's and surgeon's satisfaction in patients undergoing elective rhinoplasty. A single-center, prospective, blinded, randomized controlled trial. After the approval of the hospital ethics committee (KA22/12), fifty volunteers aged 18-65 years who underwent rhinoplasty under elective conditions accepted the study in the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-III class. The patients were randomly divided into the remifentanil group (group R) and the dexmedetomidine group (group D). Group R (n=25) was initially to receive remifentanil 0.01-0.2 g/kg/min without intraoperative loading. Group D (n=25) dexmedetomidine, was initiated with a bolus of 1 mg/kg and received 0.2-0.7 g/kg per hour as an infusion during surgery.

Conditions

  • Rhinoplasty
  • Dexmedetomidine
  • Remifentanil

Interventions

DRUG

Remifentanil 2 MG

Remifentanil is an opioid; it has sedative, analgesic, and sympatholytic properties.

DRUG

dexmedetomidine

Studies show that dexmedetomidine is superior to currently commonly used remifentanil in terms of intraoperative blood pressure control and postoperative pain. Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2-adrenoceptor agonist, has sympatholytic, sedative, anesthetic, analgesic, and vasoconstrictor effects. It lowers blood pressure by decreasing plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine levels, thereby reducing intraoperative bleeding. Dexmedetomidine is defined as an analgesic that is now widely used to induce and maintain anesthesia and to control postoperative pain, and is defined as an analgesic that does not cause respiratory depression and neurocognitive impairment. Many studies have shown that the use of perioperative dexmedetomidine reduces the stress response to anesthetic induction and surgery and provides hemodynamic stability.
