This prospective observational cohort study aims to investigate whether the weight-based equivalent (mg/kg) of a fixed 1 g dose of tranexamic acid administered during septorhinoplasty is associated with intraoperative remifentanil titration frequency and perceived anesthesiologist workload. Although tranexamic acid is routinely given as a fixed dose, its mg/kg equivalent varies according to patient weight and may influence hemodynamic management during controlled hypotension. The primary outcome is the total number of remifentanil infusion rate adjustments during surgery. Secondary outcomes include total remifentanil consumption and postoperative anesthesiologist workload assessed using the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX).

Adult patients (18-70 years) undergoing elective septorhinoplasty under general anesthesia at a tertiary academic hospital. All patients receive a fixed 1 g intravenous dose of tranexamic acid as part of routine clinical practice, and intraoperative management includes a controlled hypotension strategy. Consecutive eligible patients with complete perioperative data are included in this prospective observational cohort.
