Could ephedrine replace dexamedetomidine for prevention of shivering in women undergoing Cesarean section Under spinal anaesthesia
- Detailed Description
Shivering, rhythmic oscillatory movement of upper limbs, neck and jaw, is common during regional anesthesia with an incidence up to 56.7% of patients. Perioperative shivering is a commonly observed clinical problem well known to anesthesiologists caring for women undergoing a Cesarean delivery (CD). The median incidence of shivering in parturients having labour epidural analgesia or CD with epidural or spinal anesthesia has been estimated to be 52%.1 Severe shivering causes physiologic stress, interferes with patient monitors, and decreases the comfort and overall satisfaction of women during childbirth. Ephedrine well-known sympathomimetic agent, has been used to treat hypotension during regional anesthesia. It has antiemetic effect for short-term . Ephedrine maintained hemodynamics and minimized decrease of the core temperature when given by an intravenous infusion during spine surgery under general anesthesia . Dexmedetomidine, a selective a-2 agonist, was introduced in clinical practice in the United States in 1999. It is approved by Health Canada as a short-term sedative for mechanically ventilated adult patients in the intensive care unit and sedation of non-intubated patients prior to and/or during surgical procedures. It has since been approved and is widely used in pediatric populations and for procedural sedation of non-intubated patients.9 Nevertheless, the clinical use of dexmedetomidine has expanded to various off-label uses. In obstetrical anesthesia, it has been used as part of multi-modal intravenous labour and post-CD analgesia,10-13 as a neuraxial adjunct in the epidural space for labour,14 and intrathecally for shivering prevention during CD
