Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Incidence of postoperative shivering comparing remifentanil with other opioids: a meta-analysis.
To determine whether the administration of remifentanil increases the incidence of postoperative shivering in comparison with the administration of alfentanil, fentanyl, or sufentanil. ⋯ Our meta-analysis showed that remifentanil was associated with an increased incidence of postoperative shivering compared with alfentanil or fentanyl, but no significant difference was seen when compared with sufentanil.
