Protocol summary

Study aim
Determination of the effect of different dexamethasone doses on blood glucose concentrations in patients under elective abdominal surgery
Design
This randomized double blind clinical trial was performed on patients with elective abdominal surgery referred to Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital. The number of individuals was 96 randomly selected and randomly divided into three groups of intervention, first intervention and control.
Settings and conduct
A total of 96 patients who had undergone abdominal surgery who referred to Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital were randomly divided into three groups (two intervention and one control group). Also, the grouping of the patients and the type of drug used for the subjects involved in the study are blinded.As the patient, researcher and data analyst will be blind.( double blinded)
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Encluding criteria: Patients undergoing abdominal surgery, aged 18-65 years. Excluding criteria: Cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, diabetic patients - Dissatisfaction to enter the study - Recent history of steroid use - History of allergy to any of the drugs used in the study.
Intervention groups
In a group ,4 mg intravenous dexamethasone is injected at the beginning of the surgery, and in the second group, 8 mg dexamethasone and the third group, placebo (normal saline) are injected.
Main outcome variables
After surgery, blood glucose levels were measured and recorded by the nurse at 6 hours and 24 hours after administration of dexamethasone or placebo. After recording the data, the results of the three groups are compared and analyzed statistically.
