چکیده
Hypothermia and postoperative shivering are uncomfortable and may be dangerous. This study demonstrates that postoperative shivering may be controlled quickly and effectively with radiant heat, thereby reducing oxygen consumption and increasing thermal comfort.

Effect of Dexamethasone Before Induction of Anesthesia On Postoperative Shivering
Abstract Shivering after surgery is common and followed by many problems. Therefore prevention of shivering is important specially in elderly and Ischemic Heart Disease patients. The etiology of shivering is unknown, although is thought intraoperative hypothermia is a major causative factor. Another possible etiology is fever and chills secondary to activation of the inflammatory responses and...
متن کاملEffect of Intravenous Ketamine on Prevention of Postoperative Shivering: A Comparison with Intravenous Pethedine
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...
متن کاملComparison of Different Doses of Magnesium Sulfate in Prevention of Postoperative Shivering in Patients Undergoing Spinal Anesthesia
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 ...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Thermal Comfort Properties and Heat Protection Performance of Cotton/Nylon-Kermel Fabrics
In this research, fire and radiant heat protection and thermal comfort properties of cotton/nylon-Kermel blended woven fabrics, were utilized to predict the thermal comfort and protection limit of this fabric structure based on Woo and Barker developed model. The results showed that the porosity, the air permeability and the thermal resistance increased with Kermel fiber blend ratio. Conversely...
متن کاملComparison of preemptive effect of intravenous ketorolac versus meperidine on postoperative shivering and pain in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia: A prospective, randomized, double-blind study
Background: Pain and shivering are two unpleasant problems in postoperative period. Various techniques are used to alleviate the postoperative shivering and pain. We compared the preemptive prescription of a single dose of intravenous meperidine and ketorolac on postoperative pain and shivering in patients undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. Methods: One hundred and ...
