Introduction: Shivering is a protective reaction. It increases the production of body temperature by muscular contraction. Post-surgery shivering is one of the prevalent side effects of anesthesia. This is usually accompanied with other problems such as oxygen consumption increase, intracranialpressureincrease, and other complications. Hence, this study compared the effect of various doses of k...

Background: Shiveringis a common complication following anesthesia. Many drugs have been documented as prophylaxis of postanesthesia shivering. The aim this study was to find out better drug an antishivering agent.
 Materials and methods: This comparative carried in the Department Anesthesiology Chittagong Medical College Hospital over period 6 months starting from November 2015 April 2016...

Background and Aims Cesarean sections are performed mostly under spinal anesthesia. Shivering is one of the distressing complications. The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of intravenous (i.v) magnesium sulfate and tramadol with placebo (normal saline) on postspinal shivering in elective cesarean section when used as prophylaxis. Methods One hundred and thirty-five pregnant women ...

BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is common in critically ill and surgical patients, as are core temperature disturbances. The effect of hyperglycemia on thermoregulatory defenses remains unknown. We determined the effect of blood glucose concentration on the shivering threshold in rabbits. METHODS Twenty-seven rabbits lightly anesthetized with isoflurane were randomly assigned to infusions of (1) sal...

UNLABELLED Dantrolene is used for treatment of life-threatening hyperthermia, yet its thermoregulatory effects are unknown. We tested the hypothesis that dantrolene reduces the threshold (triggering core temperature) and gain (incremental increase) of shivering. Healthy volunteers were evaluated on 2 random days: control and dantrolene (approximately 2.5 mg/kg plus a continuous infusion). In St...

Background & objective: Perioperative shivering after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section is a common and unpleasant complication. Currently pethidine being used but the search continues to look other agents with faster action fewer side effects. Tramadol potential anti-shivering drug modulation of central thermoregulation.
 We compared efficacy tramadol versus in treatment perioper...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Therapeutic temperature modulation is widely used in neurocritical care but commonly causes shivering, which can hamper the cooling process and result in increases in systemic metabolism. We sought to validate a grading scale to assist in the monitoring and control of shivering. METHODS A simple 4-point Bedside Shivering Assessment Scale was validated against continuous...
