Article Synopsis
- Shivering is a common issue during spinal anesthesia, and this review investigates the effectiveness of ketamine in preventing it, using major medical databases for research.
- Out of studies comparing ketamine to saline and tramadol, ketamine showed mixed results; some studies found it more effective while others suggested similar or better outcomes for other drugs like dexmedetomidine and meperidine.
- Ketamine appears to be a safe option for reducing shivering, especially with dosages of 0.2-0.5 mg/kg, but other medications may work just as well or better, and factors like patient type and doctor experience should guide treatment choices.
