Effects of Shenfu injection on shivering prevention and hemodynamic impact in elderly patients underwent transurethral resection of the prostate

Abstract We aim to investigate the effect of Shenfu injection before anesthesia on shivering and its impact on hemodynamic parameters. Eighty patients underwent transurethral resection of the prostate were randomized and received 50 mL Shenfu injection (experiment group) or 50 mL 0.9% sodium chloride injection (control group) before anesthesia. Incidence of shivering, axillary temperature, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were monitored before, during, and after surgery. Compared to the control group, patients in the experiment group had significantly less decrease in temperat...
