Article Synopsis
- Post-anaesthetic shivering affects a significant number of patients recovering from anesthesia, prompting a study on dexmedetomidine's effectiveness in reducing this complication.
- Ninety female patients undergoing elective total abdominal hysterectomy were divided into two groups: one received saline and the other received dexmedetomidine during the procedure.
- Results showed that the group receiving dexmedetomidine experienced significantly less shivering post-operation (7 patients) compared to the saline group (21 patients), suggesting its potential as an effective preventative measure for post-anaesthetic shivering.
Background: A few previous studies have suggested the efficacy of i.v. ketamine for postoperative pain relief in children after adenotonsillectomy, but none has investigated the efficacy of peritonsillar infiltration of ketamine in these children.
