ABSTRACT

Postanesthetic shivering is one of the most common causes of discomfort in the postanesthetic care unit after general anesthesia. It occurs in 40% of the cases, most of the time preceded by perioperative hypothermia. This article will dwell upon postanesthetic shivering pathophysiology, as well as preventive measures and treatment by physical and pharmacological means.
