Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of different doses of ketamine on the prevention of fentanyle-induced coughing during general anesthesia induction
Design
A randomized, triple-blinding clinical trial, with the parallel groups, Phase 3 on 56 patients
Settings and conduct
In this randomized three-blind randomized clinical trial, 56 eligible patients referred to Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan will be included in the study and randomly divided into 4 groups. Before fentanyl injection, patients are given different doses of ketamine or normal saline. 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 cough severity and hemodynamic parameters of patients will be evaluated and compared between the four groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria include patients who are candidates for surgery under general anesthesia using fentanyl, in the age group of 18-65 years, have one or two American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), and consent to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria included underlying diseases, history of allergies to the studied drugs, smoking, addiction, Having had upper respiratory infections in the past month, using medications that interfere with the study over the past two weeks.
Intervention groups
Intervention group 1: Patients in this group receive ketamine at a dose of 0.15 mg/kg intravenously. Intervention group 2: Patients in this group receive ketamine at a dose of 0.20 mg/kg intravenously. Intervention group 3: Patients in this group receive ketamine at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg intravenously. Control group: Patients in this group receive normal saline at a dose of 0.20 mg/kg intravenously.
Main outcome variables
Cough intensity; Blood pressure; heart rate; oxygen saturation (SPO2)

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, 56 eligible patients are randomly selected. For this, the letter A is written on 14 sheets, the letter B is written on 14 sheets, the letter C is written on 14 sheets, and the letter D is written on 14 sheets and each of them is placed in an envelope. Each patient is then asked to choose one of the envelopes. Depending on the selected envelope, the patient is assigned to one of three groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
In order to achieve the triple-blind study, different doses of Ketamine and placebo will be prepared daily by the operating room nurse (without the researcher's awareness) and placed in the bag and will be labeled A, B, C, and D. And is given daily to the anesthesiologist (researcher). Therefore, the patient, the Investigator, 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.
