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...

Abstract Background Flexible ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy is used to treat urinary tract calculi, but postoperative complications include shivering, fever and infection. To investigate the effects of irrigation fluid temperature on complications. Methods This randomized controlled trial included 120 consecutive patients undergoing flexible at Urology Department, Suining Central Hospi...

Introduction: Shivering is a common side effect of central neuraxial anaesthesia. Intravenous pethidine commonly used in reducing shivering but has been associated with significant opioid effects. Dexamethasone as powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesia agent postulated to inhibit inflammatory mediators’ release thus inhibiting thermoregulatory centre, potentially attenuating post spinal shive...

BACKGROUND Many anti-epileptics cause resistance to non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents, but this has not been reported for valproic acid (VPA). We hypothesized that VPA would increase the rocuronium requirement and that magnesium sulphate (MgSO(4)) may reduce this increase. METHODS Fifty-five patients undergoing cerebrovascular surgeries were studied. Subjects were allocated into ...

OBJECTIVE Post anesthetic shivering is one of the most common anesthesia complications. We compared the efficacy of low-dose ketamine with normal saline in preventing post anesthetic shivering in orthopedic surgery. MATERIAL AND METHOD The present study was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial involving 183 ASA I-II patients, aged 18 to 65 years whom underwent or...
