Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The study may show significant differences in skin temperature between the upper and lower extremities with the lower limbs likely showing greater temperature dropsTimepoint: The skin temperature of pregnant mother s feet and chest is continuously monitored every 1 minute after spinal anaesthesia until transfer on to the bed at the end of surgery | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.The degree of temperature change may correlate with the height of the spinal block, suggesting a potential tool for assessing block efficacy/ sympathetic block 2.The study may establish whether temperature changes can predict complications like shivering or inadequate block.Timepoint: The skin temperature of pregnant mother s feet & chest is continuously monitored every 1 minute after spinal anaesthesia until transfer on to the bed at the end of surgery | — |
