NCT06762860

Brief Summary

The Aim of this study is to investigate and compare the efficacy of intravenous Dexmedetomidine (0.3 ug/kg) versus intravenous Granisetron (3 mg) in the prevention of shivering in parturient undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The incidence and severity of post spinal shivering.

    -The Shivering will be graded on a scale Tsai and Chu \[Tsai et al .,2001\] : Grade 0= No shivering. Grade 1=Piloerection or peripheral vasoconstriction but no visible shivering. Grade 2=Muscular activity in only one muscle group. Grade 3=Muscular activity in more than one muscle group but not generalized. Grade 4=Shivering involving the whole body.

    every 10 minutes intraoperatively and every 15 minutes postoperatively for 4 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • change in the basal axillary temperature.

    preoperatively, immediately after spinal block and at 5 ,15 ,30 ,45 minutes and at the end of surgery, then every 15 minutes for 4 hour postoperatively

  • change in the basal mean arterial blood pressure

    preoperatively, immediately after spinal block and at 5 ,15 ,30 ,45 minutes and at the end of surgery, then every 15 minutes for 4 hour postoperatively.

  • Change in the basal heart rate

    preoperatively, immediately after spinal block and at 5 ,15 ,30 ,45 minutes and at the end of surgery, then every 15 minutes for 4 hour postoperatively.

Study Arms (3)

Dexmedetomidine Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in this group will receive (0.3 ug/kg) intravenous dexmedetomidine added to normal saline to get 10 ml of colorless solution and injected over 10 minutes after clamping of the cord.

Drug: Dexmedetomidine

Granisetron Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in this group will receive 3mg intravenous Granisetron added to normal saline to get 10 ml of colorless solution and injected over 10 minutes immediately after clamping of the cord.

Drug: Granisetron

Control Group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Patients in this group will receive 10 ml normal saline 0.9% over 10 minutes immediately after clamping of the cord (placebo control group).

Other: Placebo
