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.
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 compares two different sedative medications to see which one better controls blood pressure during endoscopic sinus surgery. It may help patients who are having this type of surgery.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
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 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.
