Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Preventative effect of ondansetron on postanesthesia shivering in children undergoing caudal anesthesia: a randomized double-blinded clinical trial.
Ondansetron has been shown to decrease postanesthesia shivering in adults, but this effect has never been studied in children. This study aimed to determine whether ondansetron decreases postanesthesia shivering in children undergoing caudal anesthesia. ⋯ Ondansetron decreases postanesthesia shivering in children receiving caudal block after intravenous anesthesia.
