Melatonin vs Metoprolol or Dexmedetomidine to Improve Surgical Field in FESS
Sponsor: Zagazig University
Summary
This randomized controlled study at Zagazig University Hospitals will include 112 patients undergoing elective functional endoscopic sinus surgery, allocated into four groups (Melatonin, Metoprolol, Dexmedetomidine, Control). Preoperatively, patients will provide consent, undergo history, clinical and airway assessment, baseline vitals, laboratory tests, and serum cortisol and glucose measurement. Intraoperatively, standard monitoring will be applied, and study drugs administered according to group. Anesthesia will be induced with propofol, fentanyl, and atracurium, and maintained with isoflurane and controlled ventilation. Hemodynamics will be continuously monitored, and surgical field graded using ACS score, with interventions for hypotension, bradycardia, or tachycardia as needed. Postoperatively, emergence agitation, hemodynamics, and drug-related side effects will be recorded, and surgeon satisfaction assessed with a 5-point Likert scale.

Interventions
Melatonin
wo melatonin capsules (3 mg each) 60 minutes before surgery, intravenous normal saline in a 10 ml 11 syringe 5 minutes before induction and normal saline in a 50 ml syringe (labeled as 200 microgram) will be given over 10 minutes by a rate of 1 microgram /kg before induction
Metoprolol (MET)
4 mg of intravenous metoprolol diluted to a volume of 10 ml normal saline 5 minutes before induction, and normal saline in a 50 ml syringe (labeled as 200 microgram) will be given over 10 minutes by a
Dexmedetomidine
intravenous normal saline in a 10 ml syringe 5 minutes before induction and 1 microgram/Kg of dexmedetomidine diluted to a volume of 50 ml normal saline in a 50 ml syringe over 10 minutes before induction.
Placebo capsules (vitamin d)
two placebo capsules (vitamin D) 60 minutes before surgery, intravenous normal saline in a 10 ml syringe 5 minutes before induction and normal saline in a 50 ml syringe (labeled as 200 microgram) will be given over 10 minutes by a rate of 1 microgram /kg before induction.
