Abstract
A significant number of patients, undergoing Sevoflurane and or Propofol anaesthesia, may develop shivering and hypoxemia, in the immediate post-operative period. However in majority of patients this is relieved spontaneously after some time in fit and healthy patients - no serious problem is posed. As post-anaesthetic shivering increase metabolic rate, oxygen (O2) demand and carbon-di-oxide (CO2) production, it may become hazardous in compromised patient population. Several physical and pharmacological approaches to treatment and prevention of post-anaesthetic shivering have been studied. Pethidine in a low dose has been found to be the most effective and consistent drug in stopping post-anaesthetic shivering. Confusing reports are found in the literature regarding the role of other opioids e.g. Fentanyl in treating post-anaesthetic shivering. Hence, this prospective, randomized, double blind study was conducted in 90 ASA-I patients undergoing operation under general anaesthesia, lasting not more than 1 hour. The patients were divided into 3 groups, – Group-I received Pethidine, Group-II received Buprenorphine and Group-III received Butorphanol. Identical anaesthetic technique was employed for all the patients, namely induction with propofol and maintaining anaesthesia with sevoflurane upto 3vol% using Mapleson-A circuit for spontaneous ventilation. Ambient temperature of operation theatre(OT) and recovery room and temperature of intravenous (IV) fluid were maintained around 30oC. Heart rate, core temperature, oxygen saturation and end-tidal CO2(ETCO2) were recorded intra-operatively and post-operatively from time to time. Arterial blood gases of shivered patients were done. After proper statistical analysis of the data obtained following observations were found: 1) No correlation could be established between incidence of shivering and the age or body weight of the patient. 2) Overall incidence of shivering 14.44%. 3) No statistical significant difference was obtained in the change of intra-operative and post-operative heart rate as well as intra-operative and post-operative core body temperature. 4) Median value of post-operative arterial oxygen saturation was 99% in all three groups and median value of post-operative ETCO2 was 35mm of Hg in all three groups. There changes could not present any statistical significance. So hypoxia was not statistically significant.
