Shivering Control After Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Aim of the study is comparing the effect of amino acid versus magnesium sulfate infusion on postoperative shivering in patients undergoing elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy surgery under general anesthesia.

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
A written informed consent was taken from the patients. Patients were assigned randomly to two groups (40 subjects each) to be anesthetized and infused with either an iv amino acid starting just before and during anesthesia (group A) or an iv magnesium sulphate starting just before and during anesthesia (group M) in the perioperative period.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: aminoacid group patients received an IV amino acid infusion 150 ml/kg/hr starting just before and during anesthesia |
Drug: Aminoacid
amino acid infusion 150 ml/kg/hr starting preoperative
|
Active Comparator: magnesium sulfate group patients received an IV magnesium sulphate bolus and infusion 40 mg/kg starting just before and during anesthesia |
Drug: Magnesium sulfate
magnesium sulphate bolus and infusion 60 mg/kg starting preoperative

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative shivering grade [2 hours postoperative]
"grading of shivering," in which shivering degree was assessed as 1 of 5 levels (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4), grade 0 lack of shivering, grade 1 slight shivering (inconsiderable yet apparent peripheral vasoconstriction), grade 2 medium level shivering (muscular activity in one muscle group only) grade 3 severe shivering (muscular activity in more than one muscle group without generalized shivering) and grade 4 generalized shivering.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Shivering frequency [2 hours postoperative]
Number of shivering episodes in postoperative period
- Blood loss volume [2 hours postoperative]
Assessing blood loss in surgical drains postoperative
