Patients and Methods: The study was carried out on 40 patient ASA I or II scheduled for lower abdominal surgery. They were categorized into two equal groups Group I (Group P): Patients were receiving intravenous pethidine in a dose of 0.5 mg/kg. Group II (Group O): Patients were received intravenous ondansetron in a dose of 4 mg. just before induction of spinal block. Results: The studied groups showed no significant difference regarding demographic data, or postoperative shivering. However, postoperative nausea, vomiting and sedation were significantly increased in pethidine when compared to ondansetron group.  Conclusion: Ondansetron is effective as Pethidine for prevention of postoperative shivering. However, side effects postoperative nausea & vomiting were significantly higher in pethidine group. Thus, ondansetron could be used as a safe and effective alternative for pethidine for postoperative shivering.Medhat NoamanFouad MohamedAdel DiabAl-Azhar University, Faculty of Medicine (Damietta)articleondansetronpethidinepostoperative shiveringMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Medical Arts, Vol 1, Iss 1, Pp 53-57 (2019)
