Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
All the drugs i.e, dexmedetomedine, ketamine and tramadol decrease the shivering under spinal anesthesia compared to normal saline in their lowest possible doses used Timepoint: wrench shivering grades 1 and 2 are managed conservatively and grades 3 and 4 are treated with pethidine

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
side effects of drugs dexmedetomidine(sedation), ketamine(increased arterial blood pressure) and tramadol(nausea and vomitings) are studiedTimepoint: sedation is assessed with filos grading and grade 3 and 4 are considered positive
