Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of effects of Dexamethasone and Ketorolac on edema and ecchymosis after rhinoplasty
Design
A clinical trial with 2 intervention groups, with parallel groups, randomized, phase 2 on 60 patients. Block randomization is done through computer generated codes by www.sealedenvelope.com.
Settings and conduct
Patients who are candidate for rhinoplasty and referred to ENT Clinic of Loqman Hospital in Tehran will be evaluated. Then, if the patients fulfilled all the inclusion criteria, will be randomly (by using block randomization) divided into two groups (ketorolac or dexamethasone). After surgery, patients will receive dexamethasone or ketorolac according to the treatment plan. After 7 days of surgery, a photo of the patient's face (with a digital camera) is given to two otolaryngologists, and edema and ecchymosis will be determined using the standard tools of the grading system (zero to four points).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients who are candidate for rhinoplasty and aged 18-45 years will be enrolled. Patients with a history of nasal surgery, need for septoplasty, need for osteotomy, heart failure, drug abuse, history of hypersensitivity to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ulcerative gastrointestinal disease, diabetes, asthma, pulmonary failure, renal failure, and history of nasal fracture will be excluded.
Intervention groups
After the surgery, in intervention group 1, patients received intravenous dexamethasone (8 mg), one dose before and three doses every 8 hours after surgery. In intervention group 2, patients received one dose intramuscular ketorolac (30mg) after induction of anesthesia and two other doses every 8 hours.
Main outcome variables
Severity of Edema; Severity of Ecchymosis

Randomization description
Patients are randomly divided into two groups of dexamethasone or ketorolac with a ratio of 1:1. Block randomization will be performed via computer generated codes by using sealedenvelope website (www.sealedenvelope.com). Briefly, one of the researchers who is not involved in the treatment and assessment phases, prepares paired blocks (each block size=4) and 20 sequence lists, and put the assigned sequence in the same sealed envelopes. Then, according to randomization, the envelopes will be given to the therapist researcher.
