Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Pregnant women above 18 years of age of physical status ASA I & II scheduled for cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To observe the number of patients who developed shivering and the grade of shivering.Timepoint: Shivering will be noted intraoperatively with respect to time of spinal anaesthesia and baby delivery and 30 minutes post-operatively.The time of baby delivery, time of onset of shivering and grade of severity depending on scale will be recorded along with the body temperature. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Temperature changes from before administration of spinal to end-operative period in both the groups. 2. The number of patients receiving Inj. Pethidine as rescue for shivering in both the groups. 3. The time when shivering develops with respect to spinal and baby delivery and temperature at the onset of shivering. Timepoint: 1.Temperature values will be noted every 10 minutes. 2.Injection Pethidine 25 mg will be administered intravenously for moderate and severe shivering and its requirement will be noted. 3.The time of baby delivery, time of onset of shivering and grade of severity depending on scale will be recorded along with the body temperature. | — |
