Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the prophylactic effects of intravenous injection of dexmedetomidine, Ondansetron, and pethidine on postoperative shivering.
Design
A randomized, controlled, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with a sample size of 128 patients was designed in a phase 3 trial.
Settings and conduct
This study is a double-blind randomized clinical trial that will be performed in the Alzahra hospital.the target population is patients undergoing abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.128 patients well be selected having inclusion criteria and distributed by random allocation method in one of 4 groups. In each group, one of the dexmedetomidine, ondansetron, pethidine and distilled water too (as a placebo) is injected and at the end of the operation the patient is evaluated for postoperative shivering. . The method of blinding is that patients are unaware of the type of drug they are given and also drugs will be provided in similar syringes and coded for those by a non-study operating room staff and given to the study expert to inject.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients who are the candidates for abdominal surgery under general anesthesia are included in this study if they have no underlying problem.
Intervention groups
In Group D: 0.5 μg /kg Dexmedetomidine in group O: 0.1 mg/kg Ondansetron in group P: 0.5 mg/kg Pethidine in group N: distilled water
Main outcome variables
shivering

Sample size
Target sample size: 128
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Sampling will be done by the simple method and patients depending on the time of entry who meet the necessary conditions entered into the study in order to reach the sample size. Also, patients will be distributed in a randomized block allocation method and with the required number among the groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The method of blinding is that patients are unaware of the type of drug they are given and also drugs and placebo provided in similar syringes and coded for those by the researcher and given to the study expert to inject. and the hemodynamic changes are monitored and recorded, so the attending and the clinical caregiver and the examiner and data analyzer will not understand the type of medication and the investigator deciphers the codes after data analysis.
