Two blood pressure control methods for ear, nose, throat surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two methods to keep your blood pressure low during ear, nose, or throat surgery: one uses only remifentanil (a pain medicine), and the other adds nicardipine (a blood pressure medicine). The goal is to find which approach works best with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two drugs given during nose surgery to help keep your blood pressure steady. It may help reduce bleeding and improve recovery.
This trial tests a way to lower side effects related to remifentanil, a strong pain medicine used during surgery. It may help by making surgery safer for people who are otherwise healthy enough for elective (planned) operations.
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 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 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 tests two different pain medicines, nalbuphine and fentanyl, to see which one causes fewer changes in blood pressure and heart rate during the placement of a breathing tube for heart surgery.
