conclusions administration of intravenous ketamine at a dosage of 0.5 mg/kg immediately after anesthesia induction had a preventive effect on shivering intensity without hemodynamic alterations in children undergoing general anesthesia for tonsillectomy. results with regards to the demographic and surgical data, no significant differences between the two study groups were observed (p ≥ 0.05). s...

Background: Postanesthetic shivering is a distressing postoperative complication. Pharmacological control is an effective method for treatment and prevention of postoperative shivering. Pethidine prevents or manages shivering far better than equianalgesic doses of other opioids. However, buprenorphine is an opioid with a similar structure to morphine but approximately 33 times more potent. This...

Dear Editor, Shivering happens frequently in 5 to 60% of surgical operations. 1 Though it occurs as a result of temperature reduction, it may occur in patients with a post-operative normal body temperature. 2 Shivering may be dangerous due to increasing effect of medicines, extension of recovery period, increased oxygen consumption or hemostatic dysfunction especially in patients with a low car...

Abstract Background Shivering is a prevalent adverse event after spinal anesthesia, often disturbing to medical staff and hazardous patients. Intravenous magnesium sulfate [MgSO 4 ] has been proven be effective in prevention of post-spinal shivering. However, the risk intravenous route develop hypermagnesemia certain patients encouraged us do this study order investigate effectiveness intrathec...

Postoperative administration of clonidine is an effective treatment for shivering. However, the ability of this drug to stop postanesthetic shivering when administered intraoperatively remains controversial. Furthermore, the relative efficacy of clonidine during isoflurane and propofol anesthesia remains unknown. We therefore evaluated the incidence of postanesthetic shivering in patients given...

BACKGROUND Shivering during regional anesthesia is a common complication and is related to a decrease in the patient's core body temperature. Previous studies have shown that acupuncture on specific acupoints can preserve core body temperature. The present study evaluated the effect of electroacupuncture in preventing the shivering caused by regional anesthesia. METHODS This prospective and r...

background: this study was designed to investigate the effect of intravenous magnesium sulfate on hemodynamic changes induced by pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. methods: a randomized, placebo controlled study was performed on 52 asa class i or ii aged 20-70 years patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide. bef...
