Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
the primary outcome of the study is to compare the effectiveness of intravenous dexmedetomidine versus tramadol as a anti shivering agent post spinal anesthesia and better agent that helps in subsiding the shivering faster with least amount of side effects.Timepoint: time noted after onset of shivering and time taken to subside the shivering. vitals measured at every 5 minute interval till 30 minutes and every 15 minutes till end of surgery.	—
