Dexmedetomidine versus Nefopam for the management of post-spinal anesthesia shivering: A randomized double-blind controlled study

Conclusion Nefopam is better as compared to dexmedetomidine for control of intraoperative shivering under spinal anesthesia due to its rapid onset, higher response rate, no sedation, lesser hemodynamic alterations, lesser requirements of rescue analgesics and lesser costs.
