Brief summary

preserving normothermia decreases morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery. Intravenous infusion is usually provided by solutions present at operation theatre at room temperature and this condition provokes a decrease in body temperature and results in shivering. the decrease in maternal body temperature and resulting shivering and vasoconstriction may affect the fetal outcomes. in this study we are investigating if isothermic hydration will help to preserve maternal normothermia and improves fetal outcomes.

Interventions

parturients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia will be randomly divided into two groups. control group will be hydrated with intravenous infusion of Lactated Ringer's solution 10ml/kg at room temperature and the study group will be hydrated with 10ml/kg intravenous Lactated Ringer's solution at 37 degrees celcius before the administration of spinal anesthesia. intravenous infusion continued with a rate of 4ml/min in each group till the end of surgery at 37 degrees celcius in st
