Abstract
This clinical trial discusses the efficacy of premedication with desmopressin in the management of bleeding and clears the surgical field during rhinoplasty surgery. This study is a randomized, double-blinded placebo-control clinical trial. Seventy patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two equal intervention-control groups. Thirty minutes before surgery, the intervention group received 500ml of normal saline containing 0.1 μg/kg desmopressin and, the control group received 500ml of normal saline. According to the surgeon's opinion, the local distribution of bleeding was dramatically different in both groups. While DDAVP receivers had grade 1 or 2 bleeding (according to the FROMME-BOEZAART grading score), the control group had grade 3 or 4 bleeding, and this difference was statistically meaningful. It seems that intravenous DDAVP can reduce bleeding and clear the surgical field during rhinoplasty surgery, but further studies are needed to determine the exact role and dose of the DDAVP.
