The relative efficacy of pharmacologic interventions used for the treatment of postoperative shivering is not well understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of administration of a 1mg/kg single dose Tramadol to induction of anesthesia in order to prevent post-anesthetic shivering. Materials and Methods: In this randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled clinical trial, 60 patients which were classified based on American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) to physical status I or II selected for elective abdominal gynecologic surgeries by general anesthesia (GA). Before induction of anesthesia, 30 patients (study group), recieved a single dose of 1 mg/kg intravenous Tramadol, and the other 30 patients (placebo group) recieved 0.9% saline. Results: 3 patients (10%) of the study group and 17 patients (56.66%) of the placebo group experienced post anesthesia shivering (P<0.0001). Incidence of pain in the immediate postoperative period was significantly higher in the placebo group (90% vs 23.33% of patients respectively P<0.0001). No significant difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative adverse effects between the two groups. Conclusion: This study supports administration of single dose of 1 mg/kg Tramadol, prior to induction of general anesthesia in prevention of postanesthetic shivering.
