Abstract :
Background: Postoperative shivering is an important and troublesome
condition during recovery from general anesthesia. Corticosteroids
have been recommended to facilitate recovery and diminish
shivering after cardiac surgery. Previous studies recommended 0.6
mg/kg dexamethasone for reducing postoperative shivering in patients
undergoing cardiac surgery
