Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Whether the participants who needed sedative therapy due to agitation would take chlorpromazine or not was independent of their participation in this study. Patients will be divided into two groups according to baseline body temperatures, 30 patients (16 males, 14 females) with temperatures less than or equal to 38 °C as Group 1, and 33 patients (18 males, 15 females) with temperatures above 38 °C as Group 2. For treating agitation, 25 mg single dose chlorpromazine will be applied by intravenous (IV) slow infusion within 30 minutes to the patients enrolled in the study. Body temperatures for both groups will be measured by digital thermometer at 0th, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th hours of the treatment.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 325473 0
Body temperature alterations will be evaluated by non-invasive measurements made from the tympanic membrane.
Timepoint [1] 325473 0
Body temperatures will be measured at 0th, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th hours (endpoint) of the treatment
Primary outcome [2] 325474 0
Serum biomarkers related with systemic inflammation and pyrexia such as white blood cells (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) levels will be assessed.
Timepoint [2] 325474 0

Summary
Brief summary
Aim: Hypothermia is a rare complication of antipsychotic drugs but serious outcomes including death may result. In this prospective observational study, we will analyze patients’ body temperatures for 12 hours after 25 mg IV chlorpromazine administered for agitation and the relationship of inflammatory indicators with adverse drug reaction (ADR) development.
Methods: Patients will divide according to baseline body temperatures into Group 1 with temperatures less than or equal to 38°C and Group 2 with temperatures >38°C. Also, recurrent measurements for 12 hours will make at specific intervals following 25 mg intravenous chlorpromazine. Serum biomarkers related with systemic inflammation and pyrexia such as white blood cells (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) levels will measure. Length of ICU stay and 28-day mortality rate will record.
