Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Utilization of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) has been proposed as a method to improve visualization during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), largely due to its physiologic decrease in cardiac output without the peripheral smooth muscle relaxation and resultant vasodilation associated with inhaled anesthetics. This may be especially important in cases of advanced inflammatory sinus disease, when visualization may be most compromised. The goal of this study is to improve clinical practice paradigms by evaluating the use of TIVA versus inhaled anesthetic for maintenance of anesthesia in ESS for advanced paranasal sinus disease.
