Sween LK, Xu S, Li C, et al. - Researchers investigated whether prophylactic delivery of 10 µg of IV dexmedetomidine would decrease the patient-reported severity of shivering following cesarean delivery, without a raised incidence of side effects. Participants were women undergoing scheduled cesarean delivery with spinal or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. The participants were randomly assigned to either intravenous normal saline or dexmedetomidine 10 µg immediately post-delivery. Experts evaluated a patient-rated subjective shivering score using a 10-cm visual analog scale at 30 and 60 min post-arrival in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit. Enrolled patients were 100 in total, and 85 completed the study. According to findings, a reduction in shivering without notable side effects was reported in relation to prophylactic administration of intravenous dexmedetomidine 10 µg post-delivery.
