Low-dose ketamine infusion (blood concentration around 100 ng/mL) during surgery reduces the incidence of postoperative shivering after remifentanil-based anesthesia. We hypothesized that perioperative infusion of very low-dose ketamine (blood concentration around 40 ng/mL) during remifentanil-based anesthesia may also prevent the development of remifentanil-induced shivering during the 2-hour period after the end of anesthesia.
