[Rhinoplasty using controlled hypotension]

Hypotension, induced by NNP during simultaneous artificial respiration in intubated patients, has proved its usefulness, especially in plastic surgery of the nose and nasal septum. NNP has shown to be a hypotensive medicament, which is easy to control and in which no secondary effects have been demonstrated. The controlled hypotension with NNP requests an experienced anaesthesist and a careful examination and supervision of the patient.
