Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Introduction: Post spinal shivering is a frequent problem in parturient undergoing lower segment caesarean section. We conducted a study in parturient undergoing lower segment caesarean section, to compare the efficacy of Ondansetron and Tramadol for control of shivering under regional anaesthesia. Material and Methods: A randomised prospective double blinded single hospital comparative study was conducted Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, Guwahati, Assam, from a period of August 2016 to July 2017. 124 ASA I and II patients planned for lower segment caesarean section were randomly classified into two groups A and B, Group A received 0.5mg/kg tramadol and Group B received 8mg bolus ondansetron. Result: The complete disappearance of shivering took a mean of 3.4 minutes in Group A while 5.1 minutes in Group B (p value ≤0.05). Conclusion: I.V Tramadol is superior to ondansetron for control of shivering with early onset.
