Comparison of the Efficacy of Intravenous Dexmedetomidine versus Intravenous Clonidine for Controlled Hypotension during Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study
Controlled hypotension can be achieved with the preinduction infusion of either clonidine 3 μg/kg or dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg. Dexmedetomidine provides better hemodynamic stability, decreased bleeding, and an excellent surgical field when compared to clonidine.
