Effect of Prophylactic Intrathecal Pethidine on the Incidence of Shivering on Mothers Undergoing Cesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Abstract

Shivering is the most common and unpleasant complication of anesthesia with an incidence of 70.7% in cesarean section done under spinal anesthesia which is associated with cardiovascular and respiratory complications. Even though it causes such devastating complications; the prevention of shivering is not well investigated. This study aimed to assess the effect of intrathecal pethidine on the incidence and severity of shivering in patients undergoing cesarean section under Spinal anesthesia.
