The intensity of postoperative shivering is unrelated to axillary temperature
Anaesthesia, 1994Summary The relationship between axillary temperature and postoperative shivering was examined in 302 patients who entered one recovery room in the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary over a one‐month period. No relationship was found between temperature and the occurrence of shivering, or between conscious level and the occurrence of ...

Effect of Ondansetron on Postoperative Shivering After Craniotomy
World Neurosurgery, 2015Postoperative shivering (POS) is an early complication after craniotomy. Preventive pharmacologic drugs are the mainstay of treatment. Meperidine is the drug of choice but with increased risk of apnea, nausea, and increased intracranial pressure. Some reports have suggested that ondansetron and meperidine have similar anti-shivering effects.To assess ...

Human reaction to cold stress and hypothermia involves shivering. Another form of overt shaking, postoperative shivering, has been attributed as a thermoregulatory response to postoperative hypothermia. Analysis of the normal human shivering pattern showed a synchronized, slow amplitude modulation (six to eight cycles/min) over all muscles sampled.

Independent Risk Factors for Postoperative Shivering
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2005Postoperative shivering (PAS) is uncomfortable for patients and potentially risky. In this observational trial we sought to identify independent risk factors for PAS after general anesthesia. Potential risk factors for PAS were recorded in 1340 consecutive patients.

Extreme Postoperative Shivering: A Case Report to Remember
Therapeutic Hypothermia and Temperature Management, 2021According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), basic anesthetic monitoring addresses a set of parameters (oxygenation, ventilation, circulation, and temperature) that should be continually evaluated. Among these, temperature monitoring might be the most neglected by medical staff, entailing various consequences that might be undervalued ...

Postoperative Shivering in Children
Pediatric Drugs, 2003Postoperative shivering consists of muscular tremor and rigidity. It is often associated with body heat loss, although hypothermia alone does not fully explain the occurrence of shivering. Shivering is self-limiting, never becomes chronic, and is rarely associated with major morbidity.

The Efficacy of Ketamine for the Treatment of Postoperative Shivering
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2008There are few reports on the utility of ketamine for the prevention of postoperative shivering. We thus established the efficacy of two doses of ketamine compared with meperidine for the treatment of postoperative shivering.This is a prospective, randomized double-blind study involving 90 ASA I-II patients after general anesthesia.

Postoperative shivering in children and causative factors
Pediatric Anesthesia, 2005SummaryBackground: The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of shivering in children and to reveal the causative factors as well as any possible clinical implications.Methods: This study was conducted on 1507 children who underwent surgery under general anesthesia.

Postoperative shivering: prevention or treatment?
Minerva Anestesiologica, 2022Postoperative shivering is a well-known and very common side effect after surgery. Its main cause is the disruption of thermoregulatory control provoked by general and neuro-axial anesthesia: anesthetic drugs impair the autonomic response which usually preserves core body heat by vasoconstriction.
