Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigating the effects of etomidate, propofol and etomidate combined with propofol injections on hemodynamic changes in high blood pressure patients who are candidates for general anesthesia
Design
Clinical trial with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3, on 150 patients. Excel software will be used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
This study aims to investigate the effects of etomidate, propofol and etomidate combined with propofol on hemodynamic changes in high blood pressure patients candidates for general anesthesia in abdominal surgeries in Fatemi Ardabil Hospital. The first group will receive propofol, the second group will receive etomidate, and the third group will receive etomidate and propofol. Blood pressure and heart rate will be evaluated in these patients. Patients and those evaluating the outcome will not know about the grouping done and the study will be double-blind.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with blood pressure between 140/80 and 170/90 are candidates for abdominal surgery. Exclusion criteria: Patients with hemodynamic disorder who need therapeutic fluid and vasopressor.
Intervention groups
The intervention group will include patients with high blood pressure who are candidates for general anesthesia in abdominal surgeries, the first group will receive propofol (1.5-2 mg/kg), the second group will receive etomidate ( 0.3 mg/kg), and the third group will receive etomidate and propofol (propofol mg 1/kg and etomidate 0.15 mg/kg) and their blood pressure and heart rate will be checked after induction.
Main outcome variables
Blood pressure and heart rate

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients will be randomly divided into three groups receiving propofol, etomidate and etomidate and propofol. Randomization in this study is done by simple randomization method using RAND function of Excel software. First, 150 random numbers are created in one column using the Rand function. Then, in the second column of the numbers from 1 to 150, a new random code is inserted in front of each column. Finally, in the third column, 50 lines with code A, 50 lines with code B, and 50 lines with code C are filled. After arranging the size of the numbers in the first column using the software, keeping their connection to the numbers in the second and third columns, the random sequence in the third column is ready. The numbers in the second column, each assigned to one of the three groups based on the corresponding line in the third column, can be used as the row code used in hiding.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In patients of the intervention groups, the form of drugs will be the same. Patients and doctors who evaluate the outcome will be unaware of the type of drug received.
