Overview
Ketamine: Ketamine is a medication that can help reduce shivering by blocking certain nerve signals in the brain. It's like a "nerve blocker" that helps calm down the body's shivering response.
- Tramadol: Tramadol is a pain medication that can also help reduce shivering. It works by affecting the brain's temperature regulation centers, which helps to reduce the shivering response.
Description
Post-spinal shivering is when a patient starts shaking or shivering after receiving spinal anesthesia. This can be uncomfortable and even scary for the patient.
Using ketamine and tramadol to reduce post-spinal shivering can have several benefits, including:
- Reduced discomfort and anxiety for the patient
- Improved patient satisfaction
- Reduced need for additional medications or interventions
- Faster recovery times
