A comparison of sedation techniques for outpatient rhinoplasty: @entity1363 versus XXXX plus @entity3652 .

@entity1 @entity1363 @entity3652
A total of 859 @entity1 presenting for outpatient rhinoplasty were divided into two groups that received intravenous sedation of @entity1363 0.1 mg/kg either with or without @entity3652 0.4 to 0.5 mg/kg immediately prior to conduct of the local anesthetic injections and surgery. Additional @entity1363 was given intraoperatively as needed. No @entity1 received narcotic either as premedication or intraoperatively. @entity1 were evaluated by the surgeon on their response to the injections and surgery, and @entity1 were given a questionnaire 1 week postoperatively to examine their response to and recall of the procedure. Scoring by both the surgeon and @entity1 revealed that the great majority of @entity1 in both groups had adequate "sedation." @entity1 from both groups related a high degree of satisfaction (> 90 percent) with the technique of sedation. The differences between the two study groups achieved statistical significance only on 4 of the 12 parameters investigated. Those who had received only @entity1363 were less likely to vocalize during the surgery or to experience the procedure as being of undue duration. Those who had also received @entity3652 had a lesser chance of remembering the local anesthetic injections (11.1 versus 19.8 percent) and a lesser likelihood of being dissatisfied with their surgical experience (3.3 versus 7.4 percent). In conclusion, the use of an opioid-free sedative technique of intravenous @entity1363 was highly successful in meeting the needs of both @entity1 and surgeons. The addition of a single preblock dose of intravenous @entity3652 to intravenous @entity1363 sedation for rhinoplasty does not improve intraoperative conditions for the surgeon in terms of @entity1 behavior.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
