Abstract
Background: For middle ear surgery, familiarity with theinterrelationships of the anatomical structures is as essential asknowledge of their individual morphology, as surgery isstrongly influenced by the close spatial relations between thedifferent components. In the present study, we assessed andcompared the efficacy of nalbuphine and dexmedetomidineversus nalbuphine and propofol in middle ear surgeries undermonitored anaesthesia care.Materials & Methods: A total of 40 patients scheduled toundergo MESs were included in the present study and werebroadly divided into two categories as follows: Group 1:Included patients who received injection dexmedetomidinealong with nalbuphine (intravenously), Group 2: Includedpatients who received injection propofol along with nalbuphine(intravenously). Visual analogue score (VAS) was used forassessing the intraoperative and postoperative pain. Recoveryto be assessed using Modified Aldrete scoring system (scoreranging from 0 to 10) in the recovery room every 5 min, tillscore of 10 was achieved. Adverse events were recorded. Bothpatient satisfaction score (PSS) and surgeon satisfaction score(SSS) were recorded on a scale on 1 to 7; with 1 indicatingextremely dissatisfied and 7 indicating extremely satisfied.Results: Significant results were obtained while comparing themean VAS, number of patients with PSS of 5 to 7 and numberof patients with SSS of 5 to 7 in between the two study groups.Non-significant results were obtained while comparing theincidence of complications between the two study groups.Conclusion: In patients undergoing middle ear surgeries,Nalbuphine/ dexmedetomidine appeared to be significantlymore effective combination in comparison to the nalbuphine/propofol combination.
