Controlled Hypotension in Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty: Incidence of Cognitive Dysfunction and Delirium
Turkey (Türkiye)70 participantsStarted 2024-02-06
Plain-language summary
Controlled hypotension application is a commonly preferred anesthesia practice during surgical procedures, particularly in regions with rich tissue perfusion, aiming to reduce bleeding, enhance surgical field visibility, and mitigate potential complications. Preserving blood flow, especially to the brain, heart, and kidneys, is vital during this method. Previous studies on the subject have primarily focused on short-term effects regarding cognitive impairments, with limited research on the long-term impacts.
In our study, we aim to investigate how controlled hypotension application, administered to patients undergoing rhinoplasty or septoplasty surgery, specifically affects cerebral blood flow and its potential consequences on the development of short-term/medium-term/long-term cognitive impairments or delirium in the postoperative period.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
