Study aim
-
The effect of perioperative magnesium sulfate infusion on inflammatory factors in patients with lung cancer
-
Design
-
Double-blind, two-arm parallel groups, randomized clinical trial study with the control group.
Patients are divided into 2 groups of 22 using random numbers from the online research randomizer service.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This randomized clinical trial study evaluates 44 patients candidates for lobectomy due to lung cancer, admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran between 2020-2021.
Serum levels of WBC, albumin, CRP, and inflammatory (IL-6, IL-8) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10 and TGF-B) cytokines will check twice (immediately after induction and a day after surgery) in two of 22 groups of controls (Standard Protocol on Anesthesia and Surgery) and study (administration of MgSO4).
Demographic data, mortality rate, and treatment outcome are evaluated in the study groups separately by a questionnaire.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Participants: lung cancer patients candidate for lobectomy, pneumonectomy, admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran between 2020-2021.
Inclusion criteria: patients with stage I, II lung cancer, aged 18 to 65 years old.
Exclusion criteria: history of severe systemic and functional lung diseases, concomitant diagnosed with other cancers, immunodeficiency, acute and chronic renal failure, history of drugs with the hypermagnesemia side effect.
-
Intervention groups
-
Control group: standard protocol of anesthesia and surgery. Study group: MgSO4 administration; in addition to standard cares, MgSO4 is added during induction of anesthesia (40 mg/kg within 10 minutes) and then infusion of maintenance dose until the end of surgery (10 mg/kg/h).
-
Main outcome variables
-
Primary outcome: evaluation of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors level in the study groups.
Secondary outcome: mortality rate and treatment outcome in the study groups.
