Common surgery side effect reduced by Anti-Nausea drug
NCT ID NCT07334223
Summary
This study tested which of two existing drugs works better at preventing shivering, a common and uncomfortable side effect after spinal anesthesia for surgery. Researchers gave 180 adults having elective surgery either ondansetron (an anti-nausea drug) or a low dose of ketamine (an anesthetic) right after their spinal injection. They found that shivering occurred less often in patients who received ondansetron (30%) compared to those who got ketamine (44%).
