Brief Summary

SUMMARY

**A COMPARATIVE STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY OF  INTRAVENOUS DEXMEDETOMIDINE AND NALBUPHINE FOR TREATMENT OF POST SPINAL****SHIVERING**

                          **INTRODUCTION :** Shivering is one of the most common complications of a central neuraxial blockade. In this study we aim to compare the efficacy of intravenous dexmedetomidine and nalbuphine for treatment of post spinal shivering in terms of response time,success rate and recurrence of shivering .Along with this we will also compare haemodynamic and adverse effects of these drugs

**PURPOSE OF STUDY**

The aim of study is  to compare the efficacy  of intravenously administered dexmedetomidine and nalbuphine in treatment of   shivering after  spinal anaesthesia in terms of

1.     Response time ( time of complete disappearance of shivering after treatment ).

2.     Success rate ( if cessation of shivering occur  with in 15 min of treatment).

3.     Recurrence of shivering after success. 4.Haemodynamic effects.5.Adverse effects.
