Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining and comparing the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine and remifentanil on cardiovascular response to extubation in awake patients undergoing surgery
Design
A randomized, double-blinding clinical trial, with parallel groups, Phase 3 on 90 patients
Settings and conduct
In this randomized double-blind clinical trial study, 90 surgical candidates patients in Al-Zahra Hospital of Isfahan will be included in the study and will be randomly divided into three groups. After general anesthesia, remifentanil, dexmedetomidine and normal saline infusion will be prescribed in three groups, respectively. The intervention will be performed in such a way that the patient, the researcher will have no knowledge of the type of intervention. Then hemodynamic parameters, and complications after surgery will be evaluated.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The inclusion criteria include patients who are candidates for elective surgery, in the age range of 20-60 years, with ASA class equal to 1 or 2, weight 55 to 85 kg and consent to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria includes pregnancy, having comorbidity, having a heart rate< 60 bpm baseline time, or systolic blood pressure< 90 mmHg, having an allergy to the studies drugs and using drugs.
Intervention groups
First intervention group: Normal saline 70 cc will be prescribed within 10 minutes and remifentanil 0.3 microgram/kg in a volume of 3 cc one minute after extubation. The second intervention group: Dexmedetomidine 0.7 μg/kg in 70 ml of normal saline will be prescribed for 10 minutes and normal saline in a volume of 3 cc one minute after extubation. Control group: 70 ml of normal saline will be administered within 10 minutes and then 3 cc of normal saline will be administered one minute after extubation.
Main outcome variables
Blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation(Spo2); Bradycardia; hypertension

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Before starting the study, letter A is written on 30 sheets, letter B is written on 30 sheets, and letter C is written on 30 sheets, and each is placed in an envelope. Then, each eligible patient who consented to participate in the study is asked to choose an envelope from among the envelopes. In this way, the patient will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups according to the envelope selected without the interference of the researcher.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In order to achieve the double-blind study, different doses of remifentanil 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 and C. 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.
