Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the amount of intraoperative blood loss between the two groups.Timepoint: intraoperative period

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare incidence of hypothermia core temperature less than 36 degree celsius and shivering between two groups.Timepoint: T0 = baseline, T1 = pre-spinal, T2 = post-spinal, T3 = after 15 min in the OR, T4 =after 30min in the OR, T5 =surgery end, T6 = PACU arrival, T7 = after 30 min in the PACU, T8 = at discharge from the OR;To compare patient comfort using verbal numerical scale. Timepoint: T0 = baseline, T1 = pre-spinal, T2 = post-spinal, T3 = after 15 min in the OR, T4 =after 30min in the OR, T5 =surgery end, T6 = PACU arrival, T7 = after 30 min in the PACU, T8 = at discharge from the OR;To compare the neonatal outcomes (umbilical blood gas analysis and Apgar score at 1 and 5 min)Timepoint: 1 minute and 5 minutes of life;4. uterine toneTimepoint: intraoperative period
