Comparisons of tramadol with pethidine for prevention of post anaesthetic shivering in elective abdominal surgery

Abstract

Background: Postoperative shivering is a common event of unknown etiology. Objectives: To compare the efficiency of tramadol with that of pethidine in controlling post anaesthetic shivering. Methods: This double -blind randomized clinical trial was performed on 120 consecutive patients who received general anaesthesia for elective abdominal surgery. Intravenous tramadol (1mg.kg

Treatment of postanesthetic shivering in children: A randomized control study comparing tramadol to pethidine

“…Tramadol controlled PAS faster than pethidine with less recurrence. Similar data has been reported in adults (Singh et al, 2012;Dhimar et al, 2007). Recurrence was easily treated with 0.2 mg/kg of the treatment drug.…”
