Dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone both reduced perioperative shivering compared to bupivacaine alone.
Shivering incidence was significantly lower in the dexmedetomidine group (15%) and dexamethasone group (17.5%) versus the control group (47.5%).
This randomized, double-blind study included 120 parturients undergoing elective cesarean sections, and analyzed shivering incidence alongside other parameters.
Findings support the use of dexmedetomidine for longer block duration, indicating potential benefits in managing perioperative shivering.
