They had a general anesthesia with halothane after a 2-3 hour operation & also severe shivering not treated by rewarming or O2 administration. IV pethidine (25 mg) & IV clonidine (75 mg) were injected to 2 groups of 30 patients (groups A & B) randomly. Findings: In pethidine group (A) and in clonidine group (B) recovery times were 2.4 & 4.4 minutes respectively (Pen
