In a double bilnd randomized clinical trial, we studied the effect of diazepam in reducing of postoperative shivering in orthopedic patients in two groups: each group 50 patients .one group case and another control. Both group received fentanyl 1.5 mic/kg before induction of anesthesia. Patients in both group induced with nesdonal 5 mg/kg and the flaxedil the with hallotane 1.5% and oxygen 50% and N2050%. Ten minutes before end of operation we injected 2cc (10 mg) Diazepam into the case group and 2cc normal saline into the control group. After the injection, the shivering was observed, and recorded in questionnaire in 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 minutes. On the basis of our results patients who have received Diazepam had less shivering than who received normal saline (p value , 0.005), so Diazepam can diminish postoperative shivering.
