Abstract

Background : Post anesthesia complication scan be caused by various factors, shivering is quite frequently
 encountered complications during recovering time. Risks that may happen is increasing of metabolism and
 make post operative pain worst. This study proves petidine can be used as an alternative to prevent shivering
 after general anesthesia.
 Methods : This research includes phase II clinical trials, the sample selection by Quota Sampling of patients
 are being prepared for elective surgery with general anesthesia, aged 20-40 years, ASA I-II, all patients who
 meet the criteria for inclusion in the sample until the required number met, willing to volunteer. Randomization
 was done at the end of the operation. Patients were divided into two groups, Pand S.Severity of shivering
 were recorded and assessed.
 Results : Characteristics of patients five minutes before induction did not significant differences.
 Measurement of systolic blood pressure and heart rate immediately after extubation showed significant
 differences. Duration of shivering in saline group occurredin almost the same when compared with the
 treatment group, because after the shivering, the patient is given immediate intervention of meperidine of
 25mg for the treatment of shivering occurred, especially given to people who experience shivering with2nd, 3rd,
 or 4th degree. For patients shivered first degree was given meperidine administration intervention. Duration of
 shivering in the control group took place in almost the same time.
 Conclusion : Pethidine had a good effectiveness in preventing the occurrence of shivering after general
 anesthesia.
 Keywords: Pethidine, shivering after general anesthesia.
