Official title
Frequency of Shivering Among Patient Treaed With IV Tramadol Versus Iv Ketamine in Prevention of Post Spinal Anesthesia Undergoing Cesarean Section: Rendomiced Control Trial
Overview
\*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.
Detailed 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
