5-HT3 receptor antagonists for the prevention of postoperative shivering: a meta-analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective We evaluated the efficacy of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists for the prevention of postoperative shivering. Methods We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Web of Knowledge to find randomized controlled trials (RCT) of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists for the prevention of postoperative shivering. Two researchers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed quality in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and then conducted a meta-analysis using RevMan 5.2. Results Ultimately, 14 RCTs that included 980 patients were included in the analysis. We found that: 1) the incidence of shivering was significantly lower in 5-HT3 groups than placebo groups (relative risk, [RR] = 0.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.40 - 0.58); 2) there was no significant difference in the incidence of shivering between 5-HT3 groups and meperidine groups (RR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.60 - 1.34). Conclusion 5-HT3 receptor antagonists appear to prevent postoperative shivering, with a broadly comparable efficacy to meperidine.

Comparison of Ondansetron and Meperidine for Treatment of Postoperative Shivering: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
BACKGROUND The involved neurotransmitter pathways in the postoperative shivering (POS) are poorly understood. Recently, 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists have been reported to prevent POS. We investigated the effect of ondansetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist that is used to treat postoperative nausea and vomiting, on shivering. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the efficacy of o...

BACKGROUND Serotonin (5-HT3) receptor antagonists are commonly used to decrease nausea and vomiting for surgery patients. We conducted a systematic review on the comparative efficacy of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. METHODS Searches were done in MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify studies comparing 5-HT3 receptor antagonists with each other, place...
متن کامل5-HT3 receptor antagonists vs traditional agents for the prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
PURPOSE Numerous antiemetics have been studied for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) including traditional agents (metoclopramide, perphenazine, prochlorperazine, cyclizine and droperidol) and the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (ondansetron, dolasetron, granisetron and tropisetron). The results have been divergent and inconsistent. The purpose of this quantitative systemati...

Aims: Shivering is an oscillating and involuntary activity of the muscles which increases the metabolic hyperthermia and is considered as a complication in neuraxial anesthesia. Shivering also increases the cardiopulmonary activity and oxygen consumption of the tissue. In this research project, different doses of magnesium sulfate in prevention of postoperative shivering in patients undergoing ...
