Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the effect of oral sotalol in comparison with oral metoprolol succinate in prevention of atrial fibrillation in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Design
This clinical trial has 2 intervention groups, double-blind, 188 candidates for CABG are randomly divided into two groups using the law of random assignment. each of the selected people will be assigned a numerical order from 1 to 188. then a random sequence will be considered to include people in the study by using the Statistics and Sample Size software.
Settings and conduct
All patients candidates for CABG surgery in BoAli Qazvin Hospital are included in the study. The consent form is given to the patients upon arrival. Demographic information is recorded on the first day of hospitalization. Preventive treatment for atrial fibrillation rhythm following surgery is metoprolol succinate in one group and sotalol in the other group. Sotalol and metoprolol succinate were prescribed to all patients from a specific pharmaceutical company. If AF occurs, sotalol is stopped and another appropriate beta-blocker is started for the patient along with amiodarone. If the patient has already been treated with a beta-blocker, after the end of the sotalol administration period, the previous beta-blocker should be continued with the appropriate dose.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
All patients candidates for CABG surgery
Intervention groups
Metoprolol succinate and sotalol tablets are prescribed 24 hours before surgery and up to 3 days after surgery in 2 separate groups. Sotalol is started at a dose of 40 mg daily and metoprolol succinate at a dose of 47.5 mg per day and is adjusted according to the patient's heart rate. The prescribed dose is adjusted based on the patient's clinical response and the patient's heart rate is maintained at 55-60.

Sample size
Target sample size: 188
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
To implement random allocation, creating a random sequence using the "Random Allocation Law" method will be used. Thus, after determining the sample size, among the people identified in the first stage, several people who meet the criteria for entering the study, are willing to participate in the study and sign the informed consent form, will be selected using the accessible method. In the second stage, each of these selected people will be assigned a numerical order from 1 to 188. In the third step, 188 random sequences created by Statistics and Sample Size software (random numbers without repetition between 1 and 188) will be considered to include people in the study. Each of these numbers will correspond to the number assigned to a person, which is specified in the first list of 188. The numbers will be assigned to the intervention group (prescribing sotalol) and the control group in sequence, and this sequence will be repeated to obtain the desired number of samples for each group. How the random assignment will be performed and to which group the individual will be specialized will not be obvious to the participants.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Doctors and researchers collecting data and investigating the outcome and health care personnel will be unaware of the intervention groups. Sotalol and metoprolol succinate drugs have been prepared and will be placed in the hospital without its medicinal properties. Medication packages are prepared by a separate pharmacist. A special code for the type of drug is specified on each package, which identifies it in the study database.
