Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence of shivering based on Tsai and Chu score.Timepoint: The incidence and duration of shivering will be noted and graded at every 2 minutes after administration of SAB till 20 minutes & at every 5 minutes thereafter till the completion of surgery. It will be based on Tsai and Chu score

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
• Grades of shivering • Duration of shivering • Duration of analgesia • Side effects and complications (Hypotension, bradycardia, desaturation, nausea and vomiting and sedation).Timepoint: The incidence and duration of shivering will be noted and graded at every 2 minutes after administration of SAB till 20 minutes & at every 5 minutes thereafter till the completion of surgery. It will be based on Tsai and Chu score
