Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining and comparing the effect of intravenous injection of dexmedetomidine with two doses on chills after elective surgery in patients under general anesthesia
Design
A non-randomized, triple-blinding clinical trial, with the parallel groups, Phase 3 on 75 patients
Settings and conduct
In this non-randomized triple-blind clinical trial, 75 eligible patients referred to Al-Zahra and Kashani Hospitals in Isfahan will be included in the study and divided into three groups. Patients in the first group dexmedetomidine at a dose of 0.3 ug/kg, and in the second group dexmedetomidine at a dose of 0.5 ug/kg, and in the control group placebo will be injected. The intervention will be performed in such a way that the patient, the researcher, and the statistical analyst will have no knowledge of the type of intervention and the triple-blind conditions will be established. Then the severity of chills and hemodynamic parameters of the patients will be evaluated.

Second intervention group: For patients in this group, dexmedetomidine at a dose of 0.5 ug/kg is injected as a bolus over ten minutes. Control group: For patients in this normal group, the same volume of drugs from the previous two groups is injected intravenously as a bolus for ten minutes.
