Brief summary
We will compare dexmedetomidine and Nefopam for treatment of postspinal anesthesia shivering regarding time of stoppage of shivering,effective postspinal anesthesia time .
Interventions
dexmedetomidine in a dose of 0.5Ug/Kg intravenous(i.v.) or Nefopam in a dose of 0.15mg/Kg I.v. In the respective groups.each drug was diluted into 5 ml by isotonic saline and given by slow I.v.( one minute) at the onset of shivering.either of the two drugs was given according to the group in the postoperative spinal anesthesia period to patients who develop grade III or IV shivering . When shivering recures additional dose of either of the two drugs according to the group can be given as the sam
