Abstract

Aim: Shivering during the recovery period after general anaesthesia can cause problems especially in patients with limited cardiac and pulmonary functions, exacerbate postoperative pain, and increase intraocular and intracranial pressures. In this randomized, prospective and double-blind study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and side effects of meperidine and tramadol in the treatment of shivering after general anaesthesia.Materials and Methods: Seventy-five patients who were evaluated as 3-4 grade according to shivering scale after routine abdominal, orthopaedic and gynaecological operations under general anaesthesia were allocated randomly into three groups. Syringes containing 25 mg meperidine, 35 mg tramadol and saline in 5 mL solution were applied as iv bolus dose to the patients in Group Meperidine (n=25), Group Tramadol (n=25) and Group Placebo (n=25) respectively. Scores of shivering and sedation, blood pressure, heart rate, peripheral oxygen saturation and body temperature were assessed prior to, and five minutes after injection of the drugs during thirty minutes period. The time of cease of shivering, the time of re-shivering, side effects such as nausea, vomiting, itching and dizziness were recorded.Results: The response rates of treatment of Group Meperidine and Group Tramadol was higher compared with Group Placebo (p

Özet

Amaç: Genel anesteziden sonra uyanma döneminde görülen titreme, özellikle kardiyak ve pulmoner fonksiyonları sınırlı hastalarda sorun yaratabilir, postoperatif ağrı şiddetini arttırabilir, intraserebral ve intraoküler basınç artışına yol açabilir. Bu prospektif, randomize, çift kör çalışmada genel anestezi sonrasında görülen titreme tedavisinde meperidin ve tramadolün etkinliğini ve yan etkilerini karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem: Genel anestezi altında rutin abdominal, ortopedik ve jinekolojik operasyon geçirmiş olan, titreme skoruna göre 3-4 olarak değerlendirilen 75 olgu çalışmaya alınarak rasgele 3 gruba ayrıldı. 25 mg meperidin, 35 mg tramadol ve 5 mL serum fizyolojik sırasıyla Grup Meperidin (n=25), Grup Tramadol (n=25) ve Grup Plasebodaki (n=25) hastalara iv bolus doz olarak uygulandı. Titreme ve sedasyon skorları, kan basıncı, kalp atım hızı, periferik oksijen satürasyonu ve ısı değerleri ilaç uygulanmadan önce ve uygulandıktan sonra 30 dk. boyunca her 5 dk.'da bir değerlendirildi. Titremenin durduğu zaman, titreme tekrar başlarsa zaman, bulantı, kusma, kaşıntı ve baş dönmesi gibi yan etkiler kaydedildi.Bulgular: Grup Meperidin ve Grup Tramadol Grup Plaseboya göre tedaviye daha etkin ve hızlı olarak yanıt verirken (p< 0.05), bu iki grup arasında fark bulunmadı. Meperidin verilen grupta sedasyon skoru diğer iki gruba göre daha yüksekti (p< 0.05). Diğer yan etkiler açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık yoktu.Sonuç: Titreme tedavisinde 35 mg tramadolün 25 mg meperidin kadar etkili ve daha az sedasyona neden olduğu sonucuna varıldı.
