Intrathecal fentanyl for prevention of shivering in spinal anesthesia in cesarean section.
Shivering is one of the common problems in spinal anesthesia. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of intrathecal fentanyl (25 µg) on incidence and severity of intraoperative and postoperative shivering. ⋯ Intrathecal bupivacaine combined with fentanyl is associated with a lower incidence and severity of shivering.
