Conditions

Patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.

Interventions

Intervention 1: Intervention group: The first group of serum recipients will be operated at room temperature (21-23 ° C) and hot air at 38 ° C (Warm Touch
Mallinckrodt Medical, St Louis, MO, USA). Intervention 2: Intervention group: For the second group, 37 ° C warm serum kept in the heater prior to infusion (Fan Azma Gostar.CO, Iran
Thermometer Industrial Group) to reach 37 ° C during infusion. Intervention 3: Control group: The third group is the control group that will be under routine care of serum and room temperature (21-23

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Having orthopedic surgery in the lower limb and under spinal anesthesia Having the consent to participate in the study Patients who are in Class 1 and 2 according to the American Anesthesiological Association (ASA) Patients 18-60 years old No corticosteroid drugs and NSAIDs taken 24 hours before surgery

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Blood injection and blood products during surgery Conversion of spinal anesthesia to general anesthesia during surgery due to insufficient surface area and severity of anesthesia The temperature of the tympanic membrane is less than 36.5 and greater than 37.5 ° C Increased spinal anesthesia Duration of surgery more than 3 hours

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Patients' shivering based on quadratic scale: No shiver 0; Mild shiver: Mild contractions in facial and neck muscles (1); Moderate shiver: Apparent shivering in neck and shoulders and extremities (2); Severe shivering: Apparent shivering They will be evaluated throughout the body (3). Timepoint: On arrival before spinal (0 minutes), 15 minutes after spinal, surgical completion time, recovery time, and 15 minutes after surgery. Method of measurement: Quadruple shivering Scale.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Patients' comfort ratings will be scored based on a VAS observation score ranging from 0 to 10. (0 indicates patient satisfaction with temperature and temperature; and 10 indicates worst patient perception of temperature and temperature conditions ). Timepoint: On arrival before spinal (0 minutes), 15 minutes after spinal, surgical completion time, recovery time, and 15 minutes after surgery. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale.
