Summary

This trial tests whether a single low dose of ketamine or tramadol, given right after delivery, can prevent the shivering that often follows spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section. About 70 women having elective C-sections will receive one of the two drugs, and researchers will track how many develop shivering and how severe it is. The goal is to find a better way to keep mothers comfortable and stable during surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ketamine and tramadol
What this could lead to
If ketamine proves more effective, it could become a preferred option for preventing shivering during C-sections under spinal anesthesia, improving patient comfort.
What could go wrong
This is a small, phase 2 trial, so results may not apply to all patients. Both drugs can have side effects, and the optimal dose or timing may vary.
