Multiple analyses of factors related to intraoperative blood loss and the role of reverse Trendelenburg position in endoscopic sinus surgery.
To find out the factors related to the volume of intraoperative blood loss during endoscopic sinus surgery and to validate the role of reverse Trendelenburg position (RTP) in controlling blood loss. ⋯ RTP may reduce intraoperative blood loss. Besides, fungal sinusitis and rhinosinusitis without polyposis may contribute to a lesser intraoperative blood loss.
