This study found high patient satisfaction with anesthesia for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). However, postoperative nausea and vomiting remain issues needing further attention.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Patient Experience

Background:

  • Anesthesia is crucial for patient comfort, safety, and reduced bleeding during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).
  • Surgeons often hesitate to use local anesthesia with sedation for ESS.
  • Evaluating patient anesthetic experiences is vital for improving surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient satisfaction with current anesthetic techniques for ESS.
  • To identify specific areas for improvement in anesthesia management during ESS.
  • To review anesthetic considerations for successful ESS.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to patients undergoing ESS over four years.
  • 111 completed questionnaires were analyzed.

  • Patient-reported outcomes included pain, nausea, vomiting, and overall unpleasantness using a 100 mm visual analog scale.

    • Main Results:

    • The survey revealed a high level of patient satisfaction with existing anesthetic methods for ESS.
    • Postoperative nausea and vomiting were identified as significant issues.
    • Subjective pain and overall unpleasantness were generally low.

    Conclusions:

    • Current anesthetic techniques for ESS are largely successful in ensuring patient comfort and safety.
    • Addressing postoperative nausea and vomiting is essential for enhancing the patient experience after ESS.
    • Further research into optimizing anesthesia protocols for ESS is warranted.
