Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison the effect of Melatonin and Dexmedetomidine on dose requirements of propofol in induction and maintenance of anesthesia by guidance of BIS in femur fracture surgery
Design
Double-blind randomized clinical trial
Settings and conduct
In the dexmedetomidine group, after diluting the drug with normal saline in a 50 ml syringe, 1 μg / kg dexmedetomidine is injected within 15 minutes and after induction of anesthesia, 0.5 μg / kg is injected during surgery. In the melatonin group, 9 mg of melatonin is given sublingually 15 minutes before induction of anesthesia. In the melatonin group, patients receive a normal saline infusion placed on a syringe pump to blind the study.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Hypersensitivity to propofol, dexmedetomidine or melatonin, Consumption of opium and psychotropic drugs, Consumption of beta blocker History of liver, kidney and cardiovascular failure, Vascular stroke, Neurological diseases, Diabetes Hypothyroidism, Peripheral or central vascular diseases, History of high blood pressure, History of taking anticonvulsant drugs, Pace maker, Duration of operation more than 180 minutes.
Intervention groups
In the dexmedetomidine group, after diluting the drug with normal saline in a 50 ml syringe, 1 μg / kg dexmedetomidine is injected within 15 minutes and after induction of anesthesia, 0.5 μg / kg is injected during surgery. In the dexmedetomidine group, patients receive a sublingual placebo for blinding 15 minutes before induction of anesthesia. In the melatonin group, 9 mg of melatonin is given sublingually 15 minutes before induction of anesthesia. In the melatonin group, patients receive a normal saline infusion placed on a pump syringe to blind the study.
Main outcome variables
Sedation, anxiety, pain, nausea and vomiting

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Block randomization is from https://www.sealedenvelope.com/. To prevent the last allocation from being revealed, 4, 6 and 8 random blocks will be used to assign individuals to groups. The dark secret envelopes arranged by the study-independent analyzer are returned to the preoperative area by a nurse who is out of the study, and the patient profile sheets are removed.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The nurses involved in this study are unaware of the type of intervention. In addition, all patients and authors of this study are unaware of the awakening time, extubation time, variables measured in the recovery room and the order of intervention.
