Spinal anesthesia study reveals temperature effects of common sedatives
NCT ID NCT06853067
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined how two sedative drugs, dexmedetomidine and remimazolam, affect body temperature in 122 patients receiving spinal anesthesia for surgery. The researchers measured how often patients developed hypothermia (low body temperature) during and after surgery, as well as shivering. The goal was to understand the temperature-related side effects of these medications to improve patient care.
