15-Degree Reverse Trendelenburg Position for FESS

St. Paul's Hospital, Canada·interventional·Posted Sep 28, 2011·Updated Aug 30, 2013

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Reverse Trendelenburg Position for Sinusitis. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is normally performed in our centre in a 0-degree supine position, with the patient laying flat. This study will be investigating whether changing patients to a 15-degree head up, feet down position will improve field of view and reduce blood loss during surgery. The 15-degree head up, feet down position has been used in other circumstances, such as brain surgery and for severely obese patients where airways can be blocked due to lying flat. Every 15 minutes, blood pressure, heart rate and field of view according to the Boezaart nasal scope scaling system will be recorded.
