Brief Summary

To compare efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus tramadol for control of post-spinal anaesthesia shivering.

To compare the perioperative variations in hemodynamic parameters and the incidence of adverse effects among the groups.

Dexmedetomidine (α2 adrenergic agonist) has been used for prevention of post anaesthesia shivering. Its use for the treatment of post-spinal anaesthesia shivering has not been evaluated. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy, haemodynamic and adverse effects of dexmedetomidine with those of tramadol, when used for control of post-spinal anaesthesia shivering.
