Shivering is a common postoperative complication and can lead to important interferences in monitorization, addition causing discomfort the patient increased oxygen consumption. Although frequently related hypothermia, it occur normothermic patients, fact that raises importance of using pharmacological strategies for its prophylaxis treatment. The effectiveness alpha-2 agonists preventing this ...

BACKGROUND Postoperative shivering is very common and followed by many problems such as increasing oxygen consumption, blood pressure, intracranial and intraocular pressure, and postoperative pain. Therefore, prevention of shivering is important, especially in elderly and ischemic heart disease patients. The goal of this study was to compare the effect of pethidine (meperidine), dexamethasone, ...

Shivering associated with spinal anesthesia during Cesarean delivery is an uncomfortable experience for the parturient, which may also cause adverse effects. In this prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we sought to evaluate the effect of intrathecal dexmedetomidine, administered as an adjunct to hyperbaric bupivacaine for Cesarean delivery, on the incidence and seve...

a b c d d Aims: This randomized double blind study was carried out to investigate effect of intrathecal fentanyl on incidence and severity of intraoperative shivering on patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries under spinal anesthesia. Method: 120 patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries under spinal anesthesia were assessed in a randomized fashion. They were divided in to two groups....

conclusions administration of two different doses of intravenous ondansetron, 6 mg and 12 mg, significantly attenuates spinal induced hypotension, bradycardia and shivering compared to the control saline group. however, the hemodynamic profiles and shivering in experimental groups were not statistically different. results demographic data were not statistically different among groups. hr was st...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this randomized double-blind study was to investigate whether 20 microg of intrathecally administered fentanyl would influence the incidence and severity of shivering in patients undergoing cesarean section. MATERIAL AND METHOD Sixty healthy patients scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia using 2.2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with 0.2 ml of morphine...

BACKGROUND Postoperative shivering is a major problem in children undergoing general anesthesia. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of low-dose intravenous ketamine for prevention of shivering after induction of general anesthesia in children who had undergone tonsillectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial...

background: postoperative shivering is an important and troublesome condition during recovery from general anesthesia.  corticosteroids have been recommended to facilitate recovery and diminish shivering after cardiac surgery.  previous studies recommended 0.6 mg/kg dexamethasone for reducing postoperative shivering in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.    objective: to test this assertion, w...
