What this trial studies

This study investigates the impact of adding either propofol or ketamine to magnesium and lidocaine infusions during nasal surgeries. It aims to compare the quality of the surgical field, intraoperative hemodynamics, surgical and recovery times, sedation scores, and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) among patients receiving different infusion combinations. The study includes patients classified as ASA I-II who are scheduled for elective nasal surgery, while excluding those with certain health conditions that could complicate the procedure.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients classified as ASA I-II who are scheduled for elective nasal surgery.

Not a fit: Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac disease, or other significant health issues may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance surgical outcomes by reducing intraoperative bleeding and improving recovery times for patients undergoing nasal surgeries.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches to managing intraoperative bleeding, suggesting potential for success in this study.
