    Abstract

    Postoperative shivering is a common experience for patients operated under general anaesthesia (GA). The reasons for shivering include: reduction in the vasoconstriction threshold, redistribution of the temperature from the core to the peripheral tissues and peripheral vasodilation caused by anaesthetic drugs. The incidence of post anaesthetic shivering (PAS) has been reported to range from 60-75% in patients recovering from GA.
