Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of using two methods of fluid therapy with normal saline serum or one-fifth-four-fifth serum on plasma sodium and blood sugar levels during and after neonatal surgery
Design
Clinical trial without control group, with parallel, randomized groups
Settings and conduct
The present three-blind clinical trial study is performed on 72 1 to 30 day old infants in Imam Hossein Hospital, candidates for general anesthesia, using the same method. These patients are randomly divided into two groups of 36 patients. In the first group, patients receive fluid therapy with normal saline (10 cc/kg) and in the second group, patients receive one-fifth to four-fifths serum(10 cc/kg) . The plasma glucose level will be measured at baseline, every half hour during the operation, the end of the operation, immediately after entering the neonatal ward, and 2 hours after entering the ward. Sodium serum will be measured and recorded before entering the operating room and immediately after entering the neonatal intensive care unit and 2 hours after entering the ward.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria include babies 1 day to 30 days old, candidates for surgery with the same general anesthesia protocol, American Society of Anesthesiologists Classification I and II. Exclusion criteria include disagreement of the patient's parents to participate in the study.
Intervention groups
All patients undergo general anesthesia in the same way and after intubation with the appropriate size and maintenance anesthesia with oxygen and Isoflurane anesthesia will be performed. Then, patients in the first intervention group will receive fluid therapy with normal saline (10 cc/kg) and in the second intervention group will receive fluid therapy with one-fifth-four-fifth serum (10 cc/kg).
Main outcome variables
Plasma sodium; Plasma Glucose

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients will be divided into two groups of 36 using block randomization method of block size 4. So that four patients are randomly selected in the first block, then two of them will be simple randomly assigned to the control and the other two ones assigned to the intervention group. Again, another four patients will be randomly selected in the second block and two of them will be simple randomly assigned to the control and the other two ones assigned to the intervention group. This selection of blocks and assignment will be continued for 18 times to make the control or intervention groups of 36 ones.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
In this study, normal saline and one-fifth-four-fifth serum are prepared by the pharmacist and placed in coded packages and delivered daily to an anesthesiologist. They also prescribe them without knowing the type of any of the drugs. Also, the person recording the clinical and basic information of the patients as well as the statistical analyst will not be aware of the type of intervention.
