Dexmedetomidine versus Nalbuphine for treatment of postspinal shivering in patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy: A randomized, double blind, controlled study

Conclusion Both Nalbuphine and Dexmedetomidine control shivering effectively, but Dexmedetomidine seems to be a better choice than Nalbuphine for treatment of postspinal shivering due to its shorter response time, lower recurrence rate and associated sedation. Meanwhile, Nalbuphine offers more hemodynamic stability and lower costs.
