Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • This study is used to determine whether re-hydrating Merocel nasal packs with 2% Lignocaine reduces pain during nasal pack removal.

    Post-operative pain severity was assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). It's a 10cm scale in which 0 represents no pain at all and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable. This would find out if rehydrating nasal pack with mentioned material decreases pain caused to the patient during pack removal.

    During Nasal pack removal at 48 hrs post operative

Study Arms (2)

2% lignocaine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In the Lignocaine group, 2.5 ml of 2% of lignocaine is diluted with 2.5 ml of distilled water, and the 5ml solution will be injected into the Merocel pack 15 minutes before removal of the pack. Nothing will be done to the opposite nostril, which would act as a control.

Drug: Lignocaine 2% Injection 20Ml Vial (Product)

Normal saline

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

In the Normal saline group, 5 ml of normal saline was injected into the Merocel pack 15 minutes before removal of the pack. Nothing will be done to the opposite nostril.

Drug: Normal saline
