Abstract Background Shivering is among the common troublesome complications of spinal anesthesia (SA), and causes discomfort and discontentment in parturients undergoing cesarean section (CS). Objective to investigate the effects of intrathecal dexmedetomidine (DEX) as an adjuvant to heavy bupivacaine in the prevention of shivering in those who underwent CS under SA. Methods A prospective double-blind conducted at Ain Shams University hospitals on 100 parturients who are undergoing CS under Spinal anesthesia over a period of six months starting from December 2018 to May 2019 at Ain shams university hospitals. Patients were randomly subdivided into 2 groups of 50 patients each, Group BD: 5 micrograms DEX was added to 12.5 mg 0.5% heavy bupivacaine. Group BN: 0.5 mL 0.9% normal saline was added to the 12.5mg 0.5% of heavy bupivacaine. Results The incidence of shivering was significantly higher in the BN group (56%) than the BD group (24%). Likewise, the intensity of shivering was significantly higher in the BN group than the BD group. Conclusion Intrathecal DEX in conjugation with heavy bupivacaine reduced the incidence and intensity of shivering in patients undergoing cesarean section after spinal anesthesia and did not increase the incidence of hypotension or bradycardia.

Introduction: One of the side effects caused by spinal anesthesia is seizures of impaired body temperature regulation, which in addition to causing concern for the mother, can lead to problems such as cardiovascular and respiratory disorders. This has led to the choice of the appropriate drug to reduce shivering, with the least neonatal and maternal side effects in cesarean section. The main purpose of this study was to compare the prophylactic effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine at two different doses for cesarean section induced shivering under spinal anesthesia. Methods: This article is a double blind randomized clinical trial study performed in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (Alzahra and Shahid Beheshti). The target population of the study was pregnant women with indication of cesarean section. In this study 60 pregnant women were divided into three groups. In the first group patients were injected with 2.5 mg / kg dexmedetomidine, in the second group patients with 5 mg / kg dexmedetomidine and in the third group with similar volume, normal saline was injected and the shivering intensity in patients with the use of Grassi and Mahajan criteria was evaluated. Finally, the collected data were analyzed using SPSS software and Kruskal-Wallis One-Way ANOVA tests. Results: According to the statistical analysis of the data, after cesarean section with spinal anesthesia, shivering intensity in the 5mg / kg dexmedetomidine group was lower than in the 2.5mg group and less than the control group. Normal saline was given as prophylaxis. Conclusion: Intravenous dexmedetomidine, especially at a dose of 5 μg / kg, has a significant effect on reducing postoperative shivering by cesarean section with spinal anesthesia.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication associated with the use of anesthesia. Several antiemetics are used to reduce the incidence and severity of PONV. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of dexamethasone and ondansetron to treat PONV in patients undergoing cesarean section (c-section) under spinal anesthesia. Methods: This double-blind clinical trial study was performed on patients who were referred to the operating room of Haji Karim Asali Hospital of Khorramabad for elective cesarean section in 2016-17. Upon meeting the inclusion criteria, patients were allotted into two groups (n=60). Group A received 8mg of dexamethasone and group B received 4mg of ondansetron after spinal anesthesia. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaire and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS) questionnaire was used for the analysis. Patients with mild to moderate stress, anxiety, and depression were included in the study. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software. Results: There was no difference in the demographic data of the two groups. The mean severity of nausea in group A was significantly higher than in group B. The frequency of vomiting in group A was 20 times higher than group B, which was found to be statistically significant, p = 0.018. Concerning the type of delivery with the frequency of nausea, the results showed that the frequency of nausea in group A was 3.24 times higher than group B, however, this difference was not statistically significant, p = 0.106. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, ondansetron had a significant effect on the alleviation of postoperative nausea and vomiting, as compared to dexamethasone in c-section surgical candidates.

AbstractThis study compared hemodynamic changes and occurrence of complications following oxytocin administration with a prior injection of phenylephrine 100 μg or normal saline during elective cesarean section. Sixty-six healthy term parturients with uncomplicated, singleton pregnancy undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were studied. They received either intravenous phenylephrine 100 μg or normal saline before oxytocin 3 IU was administered over 30 seconds. Oxytocin dose was repeated depending on the adequacy of uterine tone. There was no significant change in systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures during the initial 3 minutes following oxytocin administration in the phenylephrine group but a significant fall in mean and diastolic pressures in the saline group. Heart rate did not change significantly, and no significant complications occurred in either of the groups. To conclude, phenylephrine 100 μg administered before oxytocin injection maintained hemodynamic parameters better than normal saline injection during elective cesarean section.
