Hot Saline Irrigation vs Room Temperature Saline Irrigation in the Control of Intraoperative Bleeding During Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)

St. Paul's Hospital, Canada·interventional·Posted Oct 30, 2012·Updated Apr 14, 2016

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Hot saline irrigation for Sinusitis. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Many methods have been used to reduce bleeding during sinus surgery (FESS) in order to allow for the best surgical view and to reduce risk while in surgery. Warm irrigation fluid is believed to accelerate the clotting mechanism in the human body. The investigators would like to determine if hot saline irrigation (HSI) compared to room temperature saline irrigation (RTSI) can control bleeding during FESS. The hypothesis is that HSI is more effective than RTSI in reducing intraoperative bleeding during FESS.

Interventions

Hot saline irrigationprocedure

The surgical field is flushed with 20 cc of hot saline (45-50 degrees Celsius) at five minutes intervals. This is in contrast to the standard of care, room temperature (20-25 degrees Celsius) saline irrigation.
