Postspinal anesthesia shivering in lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries: A randomized controlled comparison between paracetamol and dexamethasone

Shivering is known to be a frequent complication in patients undergoing surgery under neuraxial anesthesia with incidence of 40–70%. Although many pharmacological agents have been used to treat or prevent postspinal anesthesia shivering (PSAS), the ideal treatment wasn’t found. This study evaluated the efcacy of paraceta‑ mol and dexamethasone to prevent PSAS in patients undergoing lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries.
