[Use of magnesium sulfate for controlling postoperative shivering].

Abstract

In intravenous administration of magnesium sulphate, the postoperative shivering was cupped off in 87.8% of the patients. The mean effective dosage of the preparation was 32.2 mg/kg of body weight. In rapid intravenous administration of the preparation, in 3% of the patients, the nausea and vomiting+ occurred. Hypotension (3% of cases) and ++re-curarization of the mandibular muscles (3%) were eliminated by means of the intravenous administration of calcium chloride. Cupping off the shivering permitted to prevent the hypothermal reaction after the operation and narcosis.
