Evaluation of propofol and remifentanil combination for controlled hypotension during anesthesia in pediatric nasal endoscopic surgery
Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the safety and efficacy of propofol in combination with remifentanil for controlled hypotension during pediatric nasal endoscopic surgery.
Methods: The study involved 30 patients who underwent controlled hypotension measures with remifentanil during the operation (study group), and 30 patients who did not receive controlled hypotension measures (control group). Various parameters including vital signs, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, surgical field quality, anesthesia quality, postoperative recovery time, adverse reaction rate, pain scores, and serum C-reactive protein levels were compared between the two groups.
Results: The results revealed a significant decrease in mean arterial pressure and heart rate in the study group during the operation compared to control group. Moreover, study group exhibited improved operation time, reduced intraoperative bleeding, and better surgical field quality compared to control group. Pain scores and serum C-reactive protein levels were also lower in the study group. However, there were no significant differences in recovery time, anesthesia quality, postoperative adverse reaction rate, or cognitive function between the two groups.
Conclusion: Propofol in combination with remifentanil for controlled hypotension is a safe and effective anesthesia approach for pediatric nasal endoscopic surgery. Future studies will require larger sample size from different study centers to improve the robustness of the findings of this study.
