Summary
Obtaining adequate hemostasis is crucial during endoscopic sinus surgery. Submucosal
injection of local anaesthetic containing adrenaline has frequently been used to improve
surgical milieu. However, injection of adrenaline has potential side effects including
tachycardia, hypertension as well as inducing arrhythmia. The aim of this randomized clinical
trial is to assess the hemodynamic and hemostatic effects of two different concentrations of
adrenaline in local anaesthetic used during endoscopic sinus surgery.
