Protocol summary

Study aim
To see the effectiveness of prophylactic infusion of intravenous calcium gluconate in incidence of post operative hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy.
Design
Two arm parallel group, single blinded, randomized control trial with post operative intervention and outcome
Settings and conduct
The study was single blinded in which participants were blinded. They were not told in which group they fall. The study will conducted in Combined Military Hospital, Bahawalpur, Pakistan
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patient undergoing total thyroidectomy, having toxic multinodular goiter, having normal pre operative calcium level, having no parathyroid disorder, having no recurrent thyroid disease or willing for part of study were included in study. Patient who were not with toxic multinodular goiter, who were going lobectomy or isthmusectomy only, who were having parathyroid disease, having allergy to calcium gluconate, having deranged pre operative calcium level, taking preoperative calcium supplements, not willing for part of study or whose data could not be maintained were excluded from study.
Intervention groups
In intervention group, preoperative calcium level will be measured and after surgery 1 g of intravenous infusion of calcium gluconate was given (60 minutes infusion) then post op calcium was checked after 12 hours. In control group preoperative calcium level will be measured and after surgery 10 ml normal saline in 100 ml of infusion was given over 60 minutes and post of calcium was checked after 12 hours.
Main outcome variables
Post Operative Calcium level, post operative hypocalcemia duration

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
I used computer generated software SPSS version 23 for randomization. First the sample size was randomized into two groups by using SPSS. Then subjects were assign to each group accordingly.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Participants were told that they will given post op intravenous calcium gluconate 1 gram 10 ml in 100 ml of infusion as a single dose, or given 10 ml of IV normal saline in 100 ml infusion as a placebo. After informed written consent Patient will be given either medicine post operative. Patient will be told that they will not know which medicine is given to them. As color of both medicine are same, so Patient will not be know which medicine is given. Medicine will be given by resident surgery.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: In this group participants pre operative calcium level will be checked by laboratory calcium testing machine. Then total thyroidectomy will be done for toxic MNG. After surgery patient will be given post operative calcium supplements as single dose intravenous calcium gluconate 1g in 100 ml infusion (in 6 hours). Then post operative calcium levels will be checked after 12, 24 and 48 hours.
