  • Title: The effect of warm irrigating fluids on the incidence of shivering during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
    Author: Neoh CA, Jawan B, Fung S, Lee JH.
    Journal: Ma Zui Xue Za Zhi; 1989 Sep; 27(3):265-8. PubMed ID: 2607914.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-four unpremedicated patients of ASA class II or III undergoing TURP were given esia with 10 mg of tetracaine at level L3-4 or L4-5. These patients were randomly given "warm" or "ambient temperature" irrigating fluids. Those with irrigating fluids of temperature between 25.5 degrees C and 33 degrees C were arranged as Group 1 and those of temperature between 21.5 and 23 degrees C as Group 2. The results failed to show that the incidence of shivering could be decreased by the use of warm irrigating fluids.
