Shivering, as a result of impaired thermoregulatory control, is known as a frequent complication of post-spinal anesthesia. Clonidine is an α2-adrenergic agonist that has anti-hypertensive, analgesic, sedation and anti-shivering effects. The purpose of this study is to compare the use of 0.5 μg/kgBW clonidine with 0.5 mg/kgBW tramadol in reducing the incidence of shivering in patients undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. The method applied was the double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial in 58 patients undergoing caesarean surgery at the Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in the period of January−April 2014, age 18−45 years, American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status II, and divided into two groups; a group receiving 5 μg/kgBW intravenous clonidine and a group receiving 0.5 mg/kgBW intravenously tramadol prior to spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine 12.5 mg. The statistical analyses used were the t test, chi-square test and Fisher’s Exact test. The incidence of shivering were less in the clonidine group compared to the tramadol group in operating theatre (3.44% vs 10.34) and recovery room (3.44% vs 17.24%). The conclusion of this study showed that the administration of 0.5 μg/kgBW clonidine intravenously before spinal anesthesia for cesarean section reduces the incidence of shivering and side effects.
