Comparing two medicines to prevent shivering during leg or bone surgery
Treatments studied
This study tests two different medicines given through a vein to see which one works better at preventing shivering after spinal anesthesia for orthopedic (bone or joint) surgery. Shivering is a common side effect of spinal anesthesia, and the goal is to find a more effective way to keep patients comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are having orthopedic surgery (on your bones, joints, or limbs) with spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in your back).
- You are in good general health (classified as ASA I or II by your anesthesiologist).
- Your surgery is expected to take less than 90 minutes.
- You have not recently had a blood transfusion or taken any of the study medicines for other reasons.
