About this study

Official title: The Effect of Different Doses of Intrathecal Magnesium Sulfate on Shivering After Spinal Anesthesia in Cesarean Sections

Shivering after spinal anesthesia is a common complication. Mangesium sulfate, which can be used intrathecally, is effective in preventing tremor. But what is the ideal dose?

Read the detailed description

Perioperative shivering during cesarean section (CS) under neuraxial anesthesia (NA) is clinically common, but its treatment is often neglected.

When the literature is scanned, perioperative tremors are seen in 55%-60% of patients undergoing neuraxial anesthesia. However, the mechanism of the tremor has not been fully elucidated. Possible factors that can cause tremor can be listed as follows:

  1. Loss of thermoregulatory vasoconstriction below the block level,
  2. The displacement of body temperature from the central to the periphery due to vasodilation,
  3. Increased sweating threshold and decreased peripheral vasoconstriction Perioperative shivering is a complication that needs to be treated because it causes dangerous consequences in patients with low cardiopulmonary reserve due to increased oxygen consumption and impairs patient and surgeon comfort.

Magnesium sulfate is one of the most effective adjuvant drugs with the least side-effect profile in the treatment of tremor after noxial block.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 25 mg MgSO4 (Magnezyum Sulfat %15, Biofarma, Istanbul, Turkey)Drug

    Also called 50 mg MgSO4 (Magnezyum Sulfat %15, Biofarma, Istanbul, Turkey), 75 mg MgSO4 (Magnezyum Sulfat %15, Biofarma, Istanbul, Turkey), 100 mg MgSO4 (Magnezyum Sulfat %15, Biofarma, Istanbul, Turkey)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Level of shivering

    Intraoperative and postoperative shivering will be evaluated with the shivering test established by Crossley and Mahajan.

    flicker tracking; The parameters looked at in this test approved by Crossley and Mahajan are: 0 = no flicker,

    1. = Piloerection or peripheral vasoconstriction, but no visible shivering,
    2. = Muscle activity in only 1 muscle group,
    3. = more muscle activity than 1 muscle group but not generalized
    4. = Full body shivering

    Measured: 3 mounths
