Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Shivering scale. Timepoint: Immediately after general anesthesia, 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes after general anesthesia. Method of measurement: Shivering was evaluated using a 5-point scale. The scale used was;0 = no shivering; 1 = observation of one or more of the following: piloerection, peripheral vasoconstriction, peripheral cyanosis without other causes, and/or no visible muscular activity; 2 = visible muscular activity confined to 1 muscle group; 3 = visible muscular activity in more than 1 muscle group; 4 = gross muscular activity involving the entire body.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Pain Scale. Timepoint: 5,10,15,20. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale.
