Effect of intravenous tramadol versus pethidine on postspinal shivering control among mothers during cesarean section at Wolaita Sodo University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Southern Ethiopia: a prospective observational cohort study.

Tramadol controlled shivering early, and recurrence of shivering and incidence of sedation were also low in the tramadol group. Therefore, tramadol is as effective as pethidine for the treatment of postspinal shivering in obstetric mothers who underwent cesarean delivery. So tramadol can be used as an alternative for postspinal shivering in obstetric mothers.
