U.S., July 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07055828) titled 'Nebulized vs. IV Ketamine in Preventing Shivering Post Spinal Anesthesia' on June 28.
Brief Summary: Shivering is an involuntary muscle activity, often triggered by hypothermia, that can occur after anesthesia. This is known as postanesthetic shivering (PAS) and is a common issue that increases oxygen demand, raises the risk of low oxygen levels, and can lead to complications after surgery.
Spinal anesthesia (SA) is a popular choice due to its quick action and effective numbing. However, it's frequently linked to shivering during and after the procedure.
To combat PAS, various methods have been used. Non-pharmacological approaches...
