Background: Shivering during regional anesthesia is a common complication and is related to a decrease in the patient’s core body temperature. Previous studies have shown that acupuncture on specific acupoints can preserve core body temperature. The present study evaluated the effect of electroacupuncture in preventing the shivering caused by regional anesthesia. Methods: This prospective and r...

Background: The duration of surgery in orthopedic surgeries is often longer than one hour. Therefore, these patients are at further risk complications induced by general anesthesia. present study aimed to determine the prevalence anesthesia and its related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional was performed on 400 undergoing Shahid Beheshti Hospital Kashan Province, Iran, 2020. subjects were r...

Postoperative administration of clonidine is an effective treatment for shivering. However, the ability of this drug to stop postanesthetic shivering when administered intraoperatively remains controversial. Furthermore, the relative efficacy of clonidine during isoflurane and propofol anesthesia remains unknown. We therefore evaluated the incidence of postanestbetic shivering in patients given...

PURPOSE Elderly patients under spinal anesthesia are vulnerable to hypothermia, leading to increased morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preoperative forced-air warming on perioperative hypothermia and shivering in elderly patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) under spinal anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients (> 65-year-old) sc...

provided the original work is properly cited. CC Postoperative temperature is increasingly used to indicate the quality of anesthesia. Anesthesiologists should measure and record the body temperature of their patients perioperatively and maintain it within normal limits. Hypothermia is usually defined as a body temperature less than 36C and occurs commonly during surgery [1]. Although hypotherm...

BACKGROUND Postoperative shivering (POS) is a common and distressing experience occurring in up to 60% patients postoperatively. This study was designed to compare the efficacy of tramadol in preventing POS when used with two different induction agent, propofol or thiopentone. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty-four ASA I and II adult patients, aged between 18-60 years, undergoing g...

BACKGROUND Shivering is a frequent event during spinal anesthesia and meperidine is a well-known effective drug for prevention and treatment of shivering. Nefopam is a non-opiate analgesic and also known to have an anti-shivering effect. We compared nefopam with meperidine for efficacy of prevention of shivering during spinal anesthesia. METHODS Sixty five patients, American Society of Anesth...

Objective: Postoperative shivering can cause patients serious adverse events and influence their outcomes after general anesthesia. To date there is no ideal drug which can be used to prevent post operative shivering. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the efficacy and accompanying side effects of prophylactic flurbiprofen along with parecoxib or placebo for reducing pos...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Shivering is a cause of discomfort and dissatisfaction in patients undergoing cesarean section. The objective of this study paper was to assess the impact of intrathecal administration of sufentanil on the incidence of shivering after cesarean section. METHOD In a prospective blinded, randomized clinical trial, pregnant women undergoing cesarean section under spinal ...

BACKGROUND Regional anesthesia is known to significantly impair thermoregulation and predispose patients to hypothermia. We hypothesized that the addition of an intrathecal injection of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) to bupivacaine would improve perioperative shivering in female patients undergoing elective caesarean section. METHODS In a block-randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial 72 patie...
