Abstract

Background: Control of post spinal shivering is essential for optimal perioperative care, which can be achieved either by oral or parental medications. The present study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous low - dose clonidine an d tramadol in the treatment of post spinal shivering. Materials and Methods: In this prospective, a double blind, randomized study, 90 ASA grade I or II, patients aged 18 – 35 years, undergoing operations under spinal anaesthesia, who subsequently developed shivering grade 3 or 4, were randomized into two groups, to receive either clonidine or tramadol. The efficacy and response rate of the study drugs were evaluated and recorded. Side effects like, nausea, vomiting, hypotension, bradycardia, dry mouth, sedation, skin rash and headache, if present, were recorded. All data were analyzed by using the Chi square test and the Z - test. Results: There were significant differences in the respon se rate between the drugs ( P < 0.05). ...
