Abstract
Background/Purpose
Permissive hypotension, defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 60–70 mm Hg, has been regarded as favorable among surgeons performing rhinoplasty. Furthermore, management of blood pressure has been shown to promote greater visualization of the surgical field and decrease postoperative complications, such as ecchymosis and edema. While multiple therapies have been utilized to achieve permissive hypotension, it remains unclear how modalities compare in terms of safety and efficacy. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review to better understand the specific modalities and associated outcomes in managing blood pressure during rhinoplasty.
Methods
A systematic literature review was conducted in order to identify and assess therapeutics utilized in achieving permissive hypotension during rhinoplasty. Variables collected included year of publication, journal, article title, organization of study, patient sample, treatment modality, associated outcomes (i.e., intraoperative bleeding, edema, and ecchymosis), adverse events, complications, and satisfaction. Articles were then categorized by the level of evidence as set forth by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Any conflicts were resolved through discussion and full-text review among co-authors. Of note, the search was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. No funding was required to conduct this review of the literature.
Results
Initial review yielded sixty-five articles. Title and abstract review followed by standardized application of inclusion and exclusion criteria resulted in a total of ten studies for analysis. Articles discussed multiple therapies for management of blood pressure during rhinoplasty, including dexmedetomidine, dexamethasone, gabapentin, labetalol, nitroglycerine, remifentanil, magnesium sulfate, clonidine, and metoprolol. Overall, intraoperative bleeding, as well as postoperative ecchymosis and edema were reduced when MAP was controlled.
Conclusion
Given its intra- and postoperative benefits, permissive hypotension can be leveraged to improve outcomes in rhinoplasty. This study presents an updated comprehensive review of various modalities used to achieve permission hypotension in rhinoplasty. Future studies should explore how comorbidities may impact choice of treatment regimen among patients undergoing rhinoplasty.
