Excessive bleeding is a major concern in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) under general anaesthesia; this can be decreased by various hypotensive agents. This study was conducted to compare the hypotensive effectiveness and haemodynamic stability of dexmedetomidine and clonidine in patients undergoing elective FESS.
