Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the effects of low dose ketamine on postoperative pain, opioid consumption and hemodynamic changes in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Design
Clinical trial with control group, simple randomization, 33 subjects in each group, with parallel groups, double blind
Settings and conduct
This study will be performed in the surgical ward of 5th Azar hospital in Gorgan. In this study, 66 individuals who need laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery are randomly selected and after obtaining consent, before surgery incision (for laparoscopic trocar passage and blowing CO2), respectively in the intervention group and control group, 0.5 mg/kg ketamine and normal saline is injected as a bolus by the anesthesiologist assistant (ketamine and normal saline are equal in volume). The sampling method is simple randomization. The rate of postoperative pain (by VAS) and the amount and type of opioid administered within the first 24 hours after surgery are recorded in the checklist by the anesthesiologist. In this study, the anesthesiologist assistant is just aware of the type of injection (ketamine or normal saline).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: age 18 to 60 years, the patients with Class 1 and 2 according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA1, 2), informed consent؛ Exclusion criteria: Abuse of drugs or opioids or psychotropic drugs, A history of seizures or taking anticonvulsants, Sensitivity to ketamine or anesthetic induction drugs, A history of high Intra cranial pressure (ICP), Patients with BMI≥40
Intervention groups
The intervention and control group: Respectively, injection of 0.5 mg/kg Ketamine and normal saline as a bolus (single injection) (both of them are similar in volume)
Main outcome variables
Postoperative pain, Opioid consumption, Hemodynamic changes

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The initial selection will be unlikely and availability of the eligible patients.But the type of intervention is based on simple random sampling.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In both groups will be prescribed ketamine or placebo (normal saline) after anesthesia. To make the drugs unrecognizable to patients and researchers, they are both administered in an identical volume and format and are labeled A and B by the anesthesiologist assistant. Because the drugs are administered and administered by the anesthesiologist assistant, the outcome of the study will be measured and recorded by the anesthesiologist present in the recovery room who is unaware of the type of drug being administered.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: After preparation of the surgical site and before surgical incision (for laparoscopic trochar passage and CO2 gas blowing), Ketamine is injected at a dose of 0.5mg/kg(Mfr.STEROP Belgium) as a bolus (single injection). Also, if the surgery lasts more than one hour in the target group, half the previous dose (0.25mg/kg) is used.
Category
Treatment - Drugs

2

Description
Control group: After preparation of the surgical site and before surgical incision (for laparoscopic trochar passage and CO2 gas blowing),placebo (normal saline) (in the same volume as ketamine) is injected as a bolus (single injection). Normal saline (in the same volume as ketamine) is also used in the control group if the operation lasts more than one hour. Normal saline is the brand name of normal saline solution which is containing 0.9% sodium chloride or 300 mOsm/L.
