Prospective Hemodynamic and Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Oxymetazoline Absorption

September 17, 2018 updated by: Richard Cartabuke

Prospective Hemodynamic and Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Oxymetazoline Absorption During Functional Endoscopic or Turbinate Reduction Surgery or Adenoidectomy

This proposed study will assess the hemodynamic effects and measure the systemic absorption of topically applied oxymetazoline in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery, turbinate surgery, or adenoidectomy. These patients will be receiving oxymetazoline as standard of care during the surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Blood Pressure Following Oxymetazoline Administration
Time Frame: 5 - 150 mins. after administration
Blood pressure was recorded at 5 minute intervals until discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) or the final blood draw (150 mins. after administration), whichever came first.
5 - 150 mins. after administration
Heart Rate Following Oxymetazoline Administration.
Time Frame: 5 - 150 mins. after administration
Heart rate was recorded at 5 minute intervals until discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) or the final blood draw (150 mins. after administration), whichever came first.
5 - 150 mins. after administration

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Ease of Hemostasis
Time Frame: intraoperative
A six point scale (very easy, easy, usual, some effort, difficult, extremely difficult) completed by the surgeon at the end of surgery.
intraoperative
Amount of Bleeding
Time Frame: intraoperative
A four point scale (none, minimal, moderate/diffuse ooze, severe/brisk) completed by the surgeon after removal of the oxymetazoline soaked pledgets.
intraoperative
