Study Summary

Ketamine: Ketamine is a medication that can help reduce shivering by blocking certain nerve signals in the brain. It's like a "nerve blocker" that helps calm down the body's shivering response.

  • Tramadol: Tramadol is a pain medication that can also help reduce shivering. It works by affecting the brain's temperature regulation centers, which helps to reduce the shivering response.

Study Description

Post-spinal shivering is when a patient starts shaking or shivering after receiving spinal anesthesia. This can be uncomfortable and even scary for the patient.

Using ketamine and tramadol to reduce post-spinal shivering can have several benefits, including:

  • Reduced discomfort and anxiety for the patient

  • Improved patient satisfaction

  • Reduced need for additional medications or interventions

  • Faster recovery times
