The aim of this study was to compare the effect of pethidine and doxapram on the treatment of shivering following general anaesthesia. Materials and Methods: In this randomized double blind clinical trial 60 patients with post operative shivering in recovery room were assigned randomly into 3 groups: normal saline, pethidine (25mg), and doxapram (1.5mg/kg). Induction and maintenance of anesthesia were the same in the three groups. Results: Shivering was treated in 95%, and 65% of pethidine and doxapram groups respectively (P CP - IRAN IN - Anesthesiology Dept., Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, Sanandaj, Iran LG - eng PB - HBI_Journals PG - 19 PT - Original Research YR - 2011
