NCT07797946

Brief Summary

This study compares two different preoperative doses of a heart-rate-lowering medication called ivabradine in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia. Patients will receive either a lower dose, a higher dose, or a placebo (inactive pill) before surgery. The goal is to see which approach best keeps blood pressure and heart rate stable during surgery, and whether it reduces bleeding and improves the surge

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Intraoperative Heart Rate Stability

    Comparison of heart rate (beats per minute) at standardized intraoperative time points (T0-T10) across the three ivabradine dosing groups, to assess hemodynamic stability during FESS under general anesthesia.

    Intraoperative, from induction of anesthesia through end of surgery (approximately 60-90 minutes)

  • Intraoperative Mean Arterial Pressure Stability

    Comparison of mean arterial pressure (mmHg) at standardized intraoperative time points (T0-T10) across the three ivabradine dosing groups, to assess hemodynamic stability during FESS under general anesthesia.

    Intraoperative, from induction of anesthesia through end of surgery (approximately 60-90 minutes)

Study Arms (3)

Group A: Ivabradine 5 mg/5 mg

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients received oral ivabradine 5 mg the night before surgery and an additional 5 mg on the morning of surgery.

Drug: Ivabradine 5 mg/5 mg regimen

Group B: Ivabradine 5 mg/7.5 mg

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients received oral ivabradine 5 mg the night before surgery and an additional 7.5 mg on the morning of surgery.

Drug: Ivabradine 5 mg/7.5 mg regimen

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Patients received an oral placebo (folic acid) the night before surgery and on the morning of surgery, following the same schedule as the treatment groups.

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

Oral ivabradine 5 mg administered the night before surgery, followed by an additional 5 mg on the morning of surgery.
