Efficacy and Potency of Dexamethasone In Comparison With Ketamine and Tramadol in the Prevention of Post-Operative Shivering
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Shivering is uncomfortable, may aggravate post-operative pain by stretching the surgical incision and occasionally impedes monitoring techniques. It may increase intra ocular and intra cranial pressures. Shivering can double or triple oxygen consumption, may increase metabolic requirement and predispose difficulties in patients with existing intra pulmonary shunts, fixed cardiac output, limited respiratory reserve. Aim : To study the efficacy and potency of dexamethasone in comparison with ketamine and tramadol in the prevention of shivering in the postoperative shivering in patients receiving general anaesthesia.
