Abstract:

Background: Pain and shivering are two unpleasant problems in postoperative&nbsp;period. Various techniques are used to alleviate the postoperative shivering and pain.&nbsp; 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 fifty patients who were scheduled for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated to one of three study groups to receive either intravenous ketorolac (group K), meperidine (group M) or normal saline (group P). Time to first analgesic request, analgesic requirement in the first 24 hours after surgery, body tympanic temperature, hemodynamic variables and incidence of shivering were assessed as outcome variables. Results: There was no significant difference between meperidine and ketorolac groups in terms of prevalence of shivering, although both groups were different from the placebo group (p<0.04). The mean time to first analgesic request was longer in group k (3.8&plusmn;1.4) and groups M (3.3&plusmn;1.2) than in group P (2.1&plusmn;0.8) hours (p<0.001). Conclusions: The preemptive prescription of a single dose of intravenous meperidine and ketorolac can provide a satisfying analgesia immediately after surgery and decrease shivering prevalence&nbsp;without any serious side effects.

Analgesic Efficacy of Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion in Cesarean Section under Spinal Anesthesia: A Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Study

Background & Objective: Nowadays, conventional analgesic agents that are usually used for pain killing after cesarean sections do not provide enough analgesia with infrequent serious side effects. Lidocaine has been suggested as an adjuvant analgesic agent for postoperative pain relief. We designed this randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of intr...

A Comparison of Intravenous Dexamethasone, Pethidine and Ketamine in the Prevention of Postoperative Shivering in Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia

Introduction and Purpouse: Postoperative shivering, which is unpleasant and annoying to the patient, occurs in patients with general anesthesia occurring in up to 65% of cases. Different mechanisms have been proposed for postoperative shivering. Chills after anesthesia can cause cardiovascular complications, bleeding and infections. this study, effects of dexamethasone, pethidine and ketamine h...

Effects of adding 5 mg meperidine to 10 mg bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia on postoperative pain in cesarean section surgery

Introduction: Meperidine has the advantages of being widely available and inexpensive. It would be highly cost-benefit if it is used at doses that are without any side-effect. Thus, this study aimed to assess the effect of meperidine 5 mg as an additive to bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia on postoperative pain in cesarean section surgery. Methods: This double-blind randomized clinical trial w...

INCIDENCE OF SHIVERING DURING CESAREAN SECTION IN PATIENTS UNDER SPINAL ANESTHESIA WITH OR WITHOUT FENTANYL

Background & Aims: Postoperative shivering is one of the common complications of surgery in the recovery room, with an incidence rate of about 50-60% in various reports. Postoperative chills usually result in unwanted hypothermia during operation. Materials & Methods: In this study, patients were divided randomly (after selecting one of 32 card containing coatings) into intervention group (n=4...
