Intrathecal Additives to Prevent Post Spinal Shivering in Transurethral Prostatectomy

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2020-06-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Male

Summary

Spinal anesthesia is the technique of choice in transurethral prostatectomy.However,one of the common complications of spinal anesthesia is shivering which is even exaggerated in patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy.this high incidence is most probably caused by sympathetic block and use of large amount of irrigation fluid during surgery.There are two methods to reduce shivering.Previous studies showed that intrathecal fentanyl is an appropriate method to reduce shivering.Intrathecal dexamethasone could reduce shivering by regulating immune responses.
