OBJECTIVE Post anesthetic shivering is one of the most common anesthesia complications. We compared the efficacy of low-dose ketamine with normal saline in preventing post anesthetic shivering in orthopedic surgery. MATERIAL AND METHOD The present study was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial involving 183 ASA I-II patients, aged 18 to 65 years whom underwent or...

BACKGROUND In the present study, we compared changes in body temperature and the occurrence of shivering in elderly patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia during warming with either a forced-air warming system or a circulating-water mattress. METHODS Forty-six patients were randomly assigned to either the forced-air warming system (N = 23) or circulating-water mat...

Introduction: Shivering is a protective reaction. It increases the production of body temperature by muscular contraction. Post-surgery shivering is one of the prevalent side effects of anesthesia. This is usually accompanied with other problems such as oxygen consumption increase, intracranialpressureincrease, and other complications. Hence, this study compared the effect of various doses of k...

Shivering related to spinal and epidural anesthesia is distressing to parturient women as it may cause cardiovascular and metabolic disturbances. Shivering increases cardiac output and causes tachycardia; also, hypothermia-induced shivering increases total body oxygen consumption and could cause hypoxemia. These effects may place mothers and the fetuses at the greatest risk during delivery. The...

background: in most operating and recovery rooms, shivering is controlled by the use of humidifiers, warming blankets, and inhalation of humidified heated oxygen. however, pharmacological control is an effective alternative treatment modality. this study was designed to compare the efficacy of tramadol versus meperidine in the treatment of shivering after spinal anesthesia. methods: in a double...

Introduction: Shivering after anesthesia subarachnoid block is a common complication seen with an incidence of 40-60% anesthesia. One the post pharmacological shivering management given warm blanket. Experimental research was carried out in Conscious Installation Room Central Surgical RSSA Malang. Aims: The purpose this study to determine effect providing blankets on changes central temperature...

Background: Shiveringis a common complication following anesthesia. Many drugs have been documented as prophylaxis of postanesthesia shivering. The aim this study was to find out better drug an antishivering agent.
 Materials and methods: This comparative carried in the Department Anesthesiology Chittagong Medical College Hospital over period 6 months starting from November 2015 April 2016...

Background: Shivering in the post anesthesia care unit is a common and distressing complication for patients after receiving general or regional anesthesia. Perioperative hypothermia has been associated with an increase morbidity mortality. Both central peripheral thermoregulation impaired by Thermoregulatory system synchronizes defense to maintain body’s heat coolness within narrow range, thus...
