Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the Effect of Melatonin on Delirium After Cardiac Surgery
Design
Two arm parallel groups randomized trial with blinded postoperative care and outcome assessment
Settings and conduct
After obtaining permission from the Ethics Committee, the patients will be randomized to two groups of 30 (case and control). In the case of malathion, the control group will be given a placebo. Delirium incidence variables (based on CAM-ICU) and severity It (according to MDAS) is reviewed and recorded. Also, information on the duration of the operation, the duration of the cardiopulmonary bypass pump, the length of time required for mechanical ventilation after surgery, and the duration of admission to the ICU are recorded and compared in the two groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
inclusion criteria: 1-age 30 and above 2. Candidate for elective or semi-elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery (On-Pump CABG) 3. Risk of Anesthesia 1-3 4-Insensitivity to melatonin exclusion criteria: 1-No informed consent 2. Emergency surgery 3. Presence of melatonin inhibition, allergy to the drug or its compounds. 4. Chronic or recent use of melatonin or hypnotic drugs 5. Treated with barbiturates or anti psychotics 6. History of liver or kidney disease or chronic pulmonary disease
Intervention groups

Main outcome variables
Delirium incidence; Severity of Delirium; Mechanical ventilation time; Intensive care unit staying

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization: Individuals are randomly divided into two groups based on randomized block randomization method. Randomized blocks are used for this purpose. A random sample based on this method from Sealedenvelope.com has been extracted.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In the intervention group, the melatonin tablet and in the control group a tablet will be given the same shape form. Given the fact that the two tablets do not differ significantly in color and shape, thus it can be said that the patient, surgeon and researcher did not have any information on how the subjects were placed in the group .
