First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial compares two medications—remifentanil and nicardipine—given during nasal surgery to lower blood pressure and reduce bleeding. Both are already used in practice, but it is unclear which provides a better surgical view and fewer side effects. The study includes adults undergoing elective nasal surgery and measures surgical field quality, blood loss, and recovery time.
