title: [The use of oxymetazoline in nasal endoscopic sinus surgery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the value of oxymetazoline used in nasal endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).
  
  
  METHODS
  The effect of oxymetazoline on 68 patients pulse, cilium mottom and rebound phenomenon during ESS were observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Pulse and cilium motion are no significant difference after using oxymetazoline. Oxymetazoline reduces about 59% nasal mucosal blood flow and acts over 6 hours.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Oxymetazoline used as nasal decongestant and anesthesia assistant is safe and effect in ESS as routine.
