The main question aim to answer is xylometazoline nasal drops better than adrenaline nasal packing in terms of nasal bleeding during nasotracheal intubation. Researchers are comparing 2 groups of participants.

Participants in group Xylometazoline are receiving 0.1% xylometaxoline nasal drops.

    Drug

    Adrenaline is direct acting, non selective, adrenergic agonist binding with alpha and beta receptors both, used for vasoconstriction to decrease nasal bleeding.
