Protocol summary

Study aim
Determine the effect of eucalyptus nebulization on arterial blood gas and physiological indexes of ventilated patients
Design
Single blind randomized clinical trial with control group with 35 patients in each group
Settings and conduct
We performed a randomized single blind clinical trial study in three intensive care units of educational hospital. Seventy intubated patients were selected through purposive sampling and randomly divided into intervention and control groups (35 patients in each group). intervention group inhaled eucalyptus and control group inhaled normal saline. At end of study Glasgow Coma Scale and Arterial blood gases and peak inspiratory pressure and tidal volume of mechanical ventilaton device were assessed in both intervention and control groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: oral intubation; 18-65 years old; No pulmonary infection ; No sepsis ; No pulmonary thromboembolism ; No atelectasis; No gasterointestinal inflammatory disease ; No severe hepatic disease; no allergy to herbal compounds. Exclusion criteria: -
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Four ml of 5% eucalyptus Made by Medicinal herbs department in Arak University will be diluted in 10 ml normal saline and will be nebulized in about 20 minutes through mechanical ventilator. This work will be performed every 8 hours until extubation. Control group: Ten ml normal saline will be nebulized in about 20 minutes through mechanical ventilator. This work will be performed every 8 hours until extubation.
Main outcome variables
Vital signs ;Glasgow Coma Scale ;and Arterial blood gases analysis; Some Ventilator Indicators

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Simple Randomization with tossing a coin method we used from this method for creating random sequence, so that we considered one of study groups (intervention) as heads and other group (control) as tails and based on sample size we threw the coin and subjects were randomly assigned to two groups
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
For elimination of the possibility of any probable bias due to the knowledge of study Outcome evaluator about the type of treatment we performed a single blind study. Eucalyptus and placebo (normal saline) had the same appearance on the nebulizer device and This device was delivered vapors directly to patient as a fully enclosed enclosure and the evaluator did not notice the smell of eucalyptus in the room ,so Outcome evaluator did not have any knowledge about the type of treatment.
