One hundred and sixty patients undergoing minor surgical procedures were randomly allocated to receive either thiopentone or propofol for induction of anaesthesia. All patients were assessed in the recovery period for the development of postanaesthetic shivering. Twenty patients (25%) in the thiopentone group and 8 patients (10%) in the propofol group developed postanaesthetic shivering (p < 0....

Postanaesthetic shivering is a frequent complication following general anaesthesia. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of three doses of nefopam with clonidine and placebo in the prevention of postanaesthetic shivering. We studied 371 patients undergoing abdominal or orthopaedic surgery. Patients were allocated to one of five groups: Group A (n = 73) received 0.2 mg x kg(-1)...

Shivering is a common and distressing problem after spinal anaesthesia which occurs due to heat loss core peripheral redistribution of body heat, resulting in reduction temperature. Post anaesthetic shivering has deleterious metabolic cardiovascular effect should ideally be prevented by pharmacological methods that are economically practically feasible all settings compared many physical method...

conclusions the results of this study showed that ketamine, doxapram and meperidine are equally effective in the prevention of postoperative shivering. background postanaesthetic shivering is one of the most common unpleasant complications in patients. objectives the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of doxapram, ketamine and meperidine in prevention of shivering after anaesthesia. ...

Background: Under general anaesthesia, the core temperature may drop up to 6°C. Patients undergoing prolonged maxillofacial surgery frequently experience unintentional hypothermia that causes postanaesthetic shivering which is a common complication of anaesthesia should be prevented. This study aimed evaluate role warmed intravenous fluid in preventing intraoperative and postoperative shivering...

BACKGROUND Postanaesthetic shivering is one of the most common unpleasant complications in patients. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of doxapram, ketamine and meperidine in prevention of shivering after anaesthesia. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this randomized, double-blind clinical trial, 120 patients aged between 20 - 45 years old under general anaesthesia were enr...
