Protocol summary

Study aim
The Evaluation of the effect of preoperative (spinal anesthesia) Atropine administration on maternal hemodynamics and neonatal umbilical cord blood PH in parturients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia
Design
This randomized double blinded clinical trial includes 2 case and control groups. Randomization will be performed by using a random number table that divides the patients into two-40 patients group(total 80 patients) and allocates a code to each person and group. This study will be performed in phase 4.
Settings and conduct
This study will be conducted in Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex. After randomization, using convenient and consequent sampling, the patients that are candidates for the elective cesarean section will receive a single dose of atropine(10 microgram/kg) or placebo, and they will undergo spinal anesthesia. Afterward, maternal hemodynamic parameters including heart rate, blood pressure and Ph of the neonatal umbilical cord blood sample would be tested and registered.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
All parturients who are between 18 to 45 years old and are candidates for performing elective cesarian section under spinal anesthesia.
Intervention groups
All healthy parturients who are between 18 to 45 years old and are candidates for performing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia will be randomly categorized into two groups including intervention and placebo group using random number table. In the first group we will administer Atropine at maximum dose of 0.6 mg and normal saline will be administered to the second group as placebo at equivalent volume
Main outcome variables
maternal hemodynamic parameters; Ph of the neonatal umbilical cord blood sample; the amount of medications used

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this clinical trial, two groups, including intervention group (I) and placebo (P), were randomly assigned based on a table of even and odd random numbers (including a chain of 80 numbers) designed by a statistical consultant. At the time of the patient's entry into the operating room, based on the sequence of the even and odd random number chain, if it was an even number, the envelope containing a prepared atropine syringe delivered to the injector, and if it was an odd number, the envelope containing prepared normal saline delivered to the injector.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Drugs and placebo are prepared in similar envelopes. Each drug envelope is given a code. Each patient is given a code as well. Patients receive an envelope in order of arrival. This envelope is returned on the day of surgery by an unrelated person. Only the analyzer knows which drug and patient belong to which group. Researchers and patients are unaware of the type of code and the content of the codes
