Protocol summary

Study aim
Providing a more appropriate and effective drug with less complications for the treatment of postoperative shivering
Design
Randomised clinical trial with blocking of 4 and 2 parallel groups and phase 4 study on 88 patients in double blind form
Settings and conduct
Patients undergoing elective nasal surgery under general anesthesia at Kowsar hospital, who suffered from shivering during recovery, were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. To blind the study, the drugs are diluted in a volume of 2 ml and injected with syringes encrypted by a doctor who does not know the details of the treatment. Patients are not informed about the type of drug received; Both groups of patients are anesthetized in a similar way; Patients' chills grade are recorded before treatment begins. After receiving the drug, patients are followed for 10 minutes for the main outcome and other consequences and 30 minutes for complications.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients undergoing elective nasal surgery lasting 1-2 hours (including rhinoplasty, septoplasty, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, polyps and other intranasal masses), receiving general anesthesia, postoperative shivering, with ASA class one and two. Exclusion criteria: Patients with ASA class three or more, with a history of tremor, and Parkinson's disease, thyroid, heart, kidney, and liver diseases, anemia (hemoglobin less than 9), allergies, neurological and psychological diseases, myopathy, receiving blood during surgery, and the drug users
Intervention groups
1- Ketamine group: Receiving 0.3mg/kg/IV ketamine. 2- Precedex group: Receiving 1µg/kg/IV treatment of Precedex.
Main outcome variables
The main outcome is faster treatment of shivering in patients with shivering after anesthesia; Other consequences include body temperature, hemodynamic changes, and side effects from medication.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients are divided into two groups receiving ketamine and Precedex using the formation of 4 random blocks and random selection from these blocks.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
To blind the study, the drugs are diluted in a volume of 2 ml and injected with syringes encrypted by a doctor who does not know the details of the treatment of patients. Patients are also not informed about the type of drug received.

Other design features
ASA classification:1: A person with normal health without any systemic problems. 2: A person with mild systemic disease who has not had functional limitations. 3: A person with severe systemic disease who has functional limitations for the person. 4: A person who has a severe systemic disease and whose life is in danger. 5: A person who is dying and is not expected to survive surgery. 6: A person who has died of brain damage and is sent to the operating room to donate an organ; Both groups of patients are anesthetized in a similar way:Premedication:Fentanyl 1.5 µg / kg / IV, Midazolam 1mg / IV, Lidocaine 1mg / kg / IV, Dexamethasone 8 mg / IV. All patients receive the fluid they need to compensate for the NPO based on the anesthesia group policies. Induction of anesthesia: Propofol 1.5mg / kg / IV then Atracurium 0.5mg / kg / IV. Maintenance: Isoflurane 1.5% + N2O (3L) + O2 (3L).Reverse neuromuscular block at the end of surgery: Atropine 1.5 mg and Neostigmine 2.5 mg. All patients are tubed with a spiral tube and receive the fluid they need during the operation according to the policies of the anesthesia group. The operating room temperature in all patients is 27 degrees Celsius. Cover all patients during surgery and in Recovery is the same and blankets are used to warm them in recovery. For both groups of patients, gender, age, weight, height, duration of anesthesia and duration of surgery are recorded. Gender based on men and women; Age by year; Weight by scales; Height by meter; Duration of anesthesia in minutes; Duration of surgery in minutes.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
The primary or main outcome of this study is faster treatment of shivering in patients with shivering after anesthesia. (Reduce patients' chills)
Timepoint
The degree of shivering in patients is determined and recorded before receiving the drug and from zero to 10 minutes every minute after receiving the drug.
Method of measurement
Postoperative shivering grading: Based on 5-digit grading (0 to 4) Grade 0: No shivering. Grade 1: Mild cold and chills on face or neck or one or more of the symptoms: Mild peripheral vasoconstriction, peripheral cyanosis, body hair spiking for no other reason. Grade 2: Moderate chills (involvement of one muscle group: oral muscle spasm) Grade 3: Severe chills (involvement of more than one muscle group without generalized involvement: spasm of all facial muscles) Grade 4: Generalized body chills

Secondary outcomes

1

It is measured from the axillary area by a thermometer.

2

Description

Timepoint
For both groups of patients, hemodynamic variables including HR, RR , SBP and DBP, SaO2 4 times before medication,1 minute after receiving the drug and 5 and 10 minutes after receiving the drug is recorded.
Method of measurement
HR (via distal pulse of the upper limb), RR (number of patient breaths per minute), SBP and DBP (via barometer), SaO2 (via pulse oximetry)

3
