OBJECTIVE To determine spinal complications during and after surgery in obstetrics and gynecological patients. METHODS We conducted a descriptive study in Al-Wahda and Aden Teaching Hospitals in Aden, Yemen from March 2004 to March 2005. One hundred and fifty obstetrics and gynecological patients were enrolled. Before and during surgery, pulse and blood pressure was monitored, and patients we...

one of the most common complications of operation and anesthesia is shivering. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of ondanseton and meperedine in preventing shivering after off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (opcab). in this double-blind randomized clinical trial, the sample consisted of 90 patients, who were candidates of cabg under general anesthesia. these patients...

BACKGROUND Neuraxial anesthesia reduces the shivering threshold approximately 0.6 degrees C. This effect might be mediated by an apparent (as opposed to actual) increase in lower body temperature. Accordingly, sufficient lower body warming should result in thermoregulatory inhibition comparable to that exerted by epidural anesthesia. We tested the hypothesis that increasing leg skin temperature...

introduction: postoperative shivering is one of the common problems following general anesthesia and may lead to multiple complications. this study aimed to compare the impact of ketamine and pethidine on postoperative shivering.  methods: in a randomized clinical trial, one hundred and thirty-five patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery were recruited for the study. the patients were ra...

BACKGROUND Postoperative hypothermia and shivering is a frequent event in patients during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. We assessed the effect of preoperative warming during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia for prevention of hypothermia and shivering. METHODS Forty five patients undergoing elective cesarean section were randomly assigned to three groups. Group F received ...

BACKGROUND We performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of intrathecal sufentanil in preventing shivering during neuraxial anesthesia. MATERIAL/METHODS We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase for all randomized controlled trials (RCT) on use of intrathecal sufentanil for preventing shivering during neuraxial anesthesia. References of retrieved articles were also scree...

Background of this study: Shivering is the most general adverse effect occurs after administration anaesthesia with several aetiologies. In order to control shivering, drug such as tramadol broadly required. Nausea well vomiting majorly caused by tramadol. Therefore, there a search for efficient that lacking effects. Aim The goal study was evaluate efficiency dexmedetomidine in medication post ...
