Atenolol vs metoprolol for low blood pressure during nasal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two commonly used blood-pressure medicines—atenolol and metoprolol—to see which one works best for keeping blood pressure safely low during nasal surgeries. It may help patients have more stable anesthesia while reducing side effects from blood pressure changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 50 years old
- Your overall health status for anesthesia is ASA level I or II (not more serious)
- You are not pregnant
- You are not breastfeeding
- You do not have asthma, COPD, or other major breathing disease

This trial tests if adding a second medicine, ketamine, to dexmedetomidine helps control blood pressure better during ear or nose surgery. It may lead to safer and smoother anesthesia for patients needing controlled low blood pressure.
This trial tests two different medicines (norepinephrine and phenylephrine) given as an infusion to prevent low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for hip surgery. It may help older adults undergoing planned hip replacement or repair.
This study compares two different medicines to lower blood pressure during sinus surgery, which helps reduce bleeding and improve the view for the surgeon. It might help you if you are having sinus surgery and want a safer, more comfortable procedure with less bleeding.
This trial compares two medications, labetalol and dexmedetomidine, given as infusions to lower blood pressure during ear, nose, and throat surgeries. The goal is to find which drug works better and safer for patients.
This trial tests two medications—metoprolol (a heart-rate slowing drug) and sufentanil (a pain reliever)—given together to prevent dangerous changes in heart rate and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed during surgery. You would receive these as part of your normal anesthesia.
This trial compares two drugs given during nose surgery to help keep your blood pressure steady. It may help reduce bleeding and improve recovery.
