5-HT₃ receptor antagonists for the prevention of perioperative shivering undergoing spinal anaesthesia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Perioperative shivering (POS) is a common complication in patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia. The present study investigated the efficacy of 5-HT₃ receptor antagonists in preventing POS following spinal anaesthesia.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data sources

Pubmed, Embase, the Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched from database establishment on 31 July 2019.

Eligibility criteria

Randomised controlled trials that reported the effects of 5-HT₃ receptor antagonists in the prevention of POS in patients after spinal anaesthesia.

Data extraction and synthesis

Two reviewers independently extracted data. The primary outcome of the present study was the incidence of POS. The risk of bias for the included studies was assessed according to the Cochrane Handbook. The quality of primary outcome was evaluated by Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. Trial sequential analysis for the primary outcome was performed to reduce the type 1 error caused by repeated meta-analysis and the required information size was calculated.

Results

A total of 13 randomised controlled trials consisting of 1139 patients were included. The overall incidence of POS was significantly lower in the 5-HT₃ receptor antagonists group (risk ratio 0.31; 95% CI 0.26 to 0.38; p<0.01; I²=0%). Subgroup analysis for different types of 5-HT₃ receptor antagonists and timing of administration produced similar results. Also, patients had a lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting after administrating 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. No statistically significant differences in drug-related adverse effects were observed. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation revealed a high level of evidence. The cumulative z-curve crossed the trial sequential monitoring boundary.

Conclusions

The present study revealed that prophylactic 5-HT₃ receptor antagonists were an effective measure for reducing the incidence of POS in patients after spinal anaesthesia. However, further studies investigating the different types of surgeries are required.

Project description:BackgroundDexmedetomidine, a highly selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist, has been investigated for anti-shivering effects in some trials. This current meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine as a neuraxial adjuvant in preventing perioperative shivering.MethodsThis systematic review and meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO [www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO] with the unique identification number CRD42017055991. The electronic databases PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched to select high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the anti-shivering efficacy for neuraxial application dexmedetomidine as local anesthetic adjuvant. Effects were summarized using pooled risk ratios (RRs), weighed mean differences (MDs), or standardized mean differences (SMDs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (Cls) with random effect model. Heterogeneity assessment, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias were performed. The primary outcome was perioperative shivering.ResultsA total of 1760 patients from 24 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with the placebo, dexmedetomidine reduced the incidence of perioperative shivering (RR: 0.34; 95% Cl: 0.21 to 0.55; P < 0.00001), with a maximum effective dose of 5μg via subarachnoid space injection (RR: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.32 to 0.92; P = 0.02), especially in cesarean section (RR: 0.20; 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.45; P = 0.0001). Dexmedetomidine also could improve the characteristics of the block, with an increase only in the incidence of bradycardia (RR: 2.11; 95% CI: 1.23 to 3.60; P = 0.006). No significant difference could be found compared dexmedetomidine with other adjuvants, except morphine.ConclusionsThis meta-analysis shows that dexmedetomidine as a neuraxial adjuvant had statistically significant efficacy on prevention of perioperative shivering. Moreover, dexmedetomidine could improve the characteristics of the block. However, the potential induction of bradycardia should be taken seriously.
