Brief Summary  

Introduction: Shivering is commonly observed in patients following subarachnoid block. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonist has been observed to decrease the incidence of shivering in post spinal anaesthesia patients. Nalbuphine is a synthetic opioid which has both agonist antagonist activity and is commonly used in treatment of post spinal shivering.

Aim: This study aims to compare, dexmedetomidine and nalbuphine in terms of clinical efficacy for the treatment of shivering in the patients scheduled for surgery under spinal anaesthesia.

Material And Method:  This randomized control trial shall be conducted in 90 patients posted for surgery under spinal anaesthesia. Patients would be further allocated into three groups, group A (dexmedetomidine), group B (nalbuphine) and group C (placebo), each group comprising of 30 patients each. Shivering will be graded according to the Bedside Shivering Assessment Score (BSAS). Time of onset of shivering, severity of shivering, time to cessation of shivering, time of reoccurrence and side effects will be noted.

Conclusion: The data generated from this study will be compiled and analyzed according to appropriate statistical methods.
