NCT ID NCT07627789
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether rinsing the sinuses with hot saline (50°C) during surgery for chronic sinusitis reduces bleeding and improves the surgeon's view. 59 adults were split into three groups: hot saline, room-temperature saline, or no rinse. The goal was to see if the hot rinse helps control bleeding better than the alternatives.
