Protocol summary

Summary
Relieve pain and anxiety in patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction in the course of treatment is very important as it prevents the development of myocardial ischemia.Choose a drug that is safe and always available and can be easily used ,have been considered by Several studies. Morphine is a drug that is not easy to access and has limited its use in cases of hypotension, lung disease ,diminish mental alertness ... so replace it with a drug such as acetaminophen, which is readily available and proven analgesic effect,Could be an important therapeutic strategy. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of acetaminophen in pain management and cardiac function in patients with myocardial infarction. Design: In this clinical trial study, seventy patients (males and females) in the age range of 40-80 years who admitted to Hamedan Ekbatan hospital with diagnosis of myocardial infarction will investigate.The patients divided into 2 groups:35 in control group,35 in test group. Setting and conduct: Test group will receive 4 doses of intravenous acetaminophen 1 gram intravenously every 6 hours, dissolved in 100 mL of normal saline.Control group will recive intravenus Morphine sulfate (3 mg every 6 hours for 4 time)for pain control.Vsiual analogue scale(VAS) ,blood pressur and heart rate will be measure at 0 , 0.5 , 1, 2 , 4 , 6 , 12 , 18 and 24 hours post admission . All patients underwent echocardiography 3 days and 6 weeks after MI. Participant including major eligibility criteria: Including criteria to study:age range between 40-80 years old patients ؛ who admitted to Hamedan Ekbatan hospital with diagnosis of myocardial infarction by using signs and ECG for the detection. Exclusion criteria to study: systolic blood pressure less than 100 mm Hg or greater than 200 mm Hg ؛ diastolic blood pressure below 60 mm Hg ؛ history of previous myocardial infarction ؛ fibrinolytic therapy or revascularization ؛ hepatic and renal disease ؛ addiction to Opium consumption ؛ VAS(Visual Analogue Scale) greater than 3 ؛ loss of consciousness. Intervention:Test group will receive 4 doses of intravenous acetaminophen 1 gram intravenously every 6 hours, dissolved in 100 mL of normal saline.Control group will recive intravenus Morphine sulfate (3 mg every 6 hours for 4 time)for pain control. Main outcome measures (variables): Investigation of below variables comparison with control group 1. Vsiual analogue scale(VAS) 2. blood pressur 3. heart rate ( at 0 , 0.5 , 1, 2 , 4 , 6 , 12 , 18 and 24 hours post admission ) 4. left ventricular ejection fraction 5. regional wall motion abnormalities (by means of echocardiography 3 days and 6 weeks after MI.)

Intervention groups

1

Description
All patients will receive initial treatment of myocardial infarction in arrival emergency department.The treatment consists of oxygen by nasal, oral aspirin 325 mg, sublingual nitrate for up to 3 doses and initial dose of intravenous morphine 3 mg . The intervention group will receive 4 doses of acetaminophen 1 gram intravenously every 6 hours, dissolved in 100 mL of normal saline. Methods: 70 pack of dark colors written on them from 1 to 70 are randomly divided into two groups of 35.Inside each envelope is a card on which the letters A (acetaminophen treatment group) or the letter B (morphine treatment group) is written.The letter A or B can be placed inside the envelope are determined using a random numbers table.The first patient to be admitted, we're open Envelope 1 , and patients indicates that the card is inserted into envelopes .Similarly, during the study,for each patient who is eligible for inclusion special envelopes will be opened by the numbers and them placed in the specified group.Pain score using Visual Analogue Scale for0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours after MI is measured. Also in 0 , 0.5 , 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours post-MI patients' blood pressure and heart rate will be measured . All patients underwent echocardiography 3 days and 6 weeks after MI then ischemic complications involving Hypokinesia, Akinesia and Dyskinesia and Ejection Fraction will be measure by Simpson technique .
