Background And Aims: Post-anaesthesia shivering is distressing and is observed after spinal and general anaesthesia. Nalbuphine, a partial mu-opioid receptor antagonist with kappa-opioid receptor agonist properties, has been successfully used to manage post-anaesthesia shivering.
Methods: After registering the review with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), we searched PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Ovid, Cochrane Library and clinicaltrials.gov with keywords for randomised controlled trials. The risk of bias-2 (RoB-2) scale was used to assess the quality of evidence. We also used Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) guidelines to evaluate the strength of evidence and trial sequential analysis to validate the conclusions.
Results: Of the 240 articles, 10 were considered eligible for review (700 patients, 350- nalbuphine, 350- control or placebo). When compared to placebo, the success rate of nalbuphine controlling shivering was significantly better (risk ratio [RR]: 2.37, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.91, 2.94; = 0.04, ² = 94%), but comparable to the control group drugs (opioids, dexmedetomidine, ondansetron, pethidine). Compared to placebo, shivering recurrence was significantly less with nalbuphine than with placebo (RR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.26, 0.83; = 0.01, ² = 61%), but comparable with the control group. The incidence of postoperative nausea/vomiting (PONV) was significantly less with nalbuphine when compared to the control group (RR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.47, 0.95; = 0.02, ² = 37%), but PONV in the nalbuphine group was comparable to placebo (RR: 1.20, 95% CI: 0.68, 2.12; = 0.54, ² = 0%). Other outcomes, like the grade of shivering and hypotension, were comparable between the nalbuphine and control groups.
Conclusion: Nalbuphine successfully controls post-anaesthesia shivering and reduces the recurrence of shivering.

Post-anaesthesia shivering is a common complication and has multiple deleterious effects. Sometimes multiple non-pharmacological interventions applied together may not control post-anaesthesia shivering adequately, necessitating the use of drugs in some cases. Hand warming is commonly used to warm up the body since time immemorial but its role in preventing post-anaesthesia shivering has not been evaluated.

Background: Patients undergoing caesarean delivery are at risk of developing unintended perioperative hypothermia, defined as a core temperature <36.0°C. Most previous studies of core temperature in caesarean delivery patients have not been conducted with accurate measurements for the complete perioperative period.

Short-term prewarming effectively reduces intraoperative hypothermia in adult patients. However, few data exist regarding its efficacy in elderly patients. Elderly people have a reduced ability to regulate their body temperature, which affects the efficacy of prewarming.

Background: Hypothermia is defined as a decrease in body core temperature to below 36 °C. If intraoperative heat-preserving measures are omitted, a patient's temperature will fall by 1 - 2 °C. Even mild forms of intraoperative hypothermia can lead to a marked increase in morbidity and mortality.
