“…As a result, prewarming reduces the core to peripheral tissue temperature gradient and the propensity for redistribution after the induction of anesthesia. In addition, intraoperative upper body forced air-warming is uncomfortable and may interfere with early maternal-newborn bonding [24]. In this study, we found that a brief period of preoperative upper body forced air-warming, such as 15 min before operation start, was easy to accommodate and reduced maternal hypothermia and incidence of shivering during cesarean section with spinal anesthesia.…”

BackgroundPostoperative hypothermia and shivering is a frequent event in patients during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. We assessed the effect of preoperative warming during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia for prevention of hypothermia and shivering.MethodsForty five patients undergoing elective cesarean section were randomly assigned to three groups. Group F received warmed intravenous fluid (40℃). Group A patients were actively warmed by forced air-warming. Group C was the control group. Forced air-warming and warmed fluid was maintained for the 15 min preceding spinal anesthesia. Core temperature (tympanic membrane) and the skin temperature of arm and thigh were measured and shivering was graded simultaneously.ResultsThe core temperature at 45 min decreased less in Groups F and A than Group C (-0.5℃ ± 0.3℃ vs -0.6℃ ± 0.4℃ vs -0.9℃ ± 0.4℃, respectively; P = 0.004). The arm temperature at 15 min and 30 min exhibited a greater increase in Group A than Group F and Group C (P = 0.001 and P = 0.012, respectively). Leg temperature increased similarly among the three groups. The incidence of shivering was significantly less in Group A and Group F than Group C (20%, 13.3%, and 53.3%, respectively; P = 0.035).ConclusionsPreoperative forced air-warming and warmed fluid prevents hypothermia and shivering in patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia.

“…Research in other surgical groups has shown that hypothermia can lead to coagulopathy, increased blood loss and peri-operative blood transfusion [2]. Most obstetric units do not routinely warm patients undergoing elective CS [3], but up to 50% of women are hypothermic on admission to the recovery room [4]. We designed a randomised controlled trial to investigate whether a carbon polymer warming mattress could prevent hypothermia after elective CS.…”

“…Similarly upper body air warming is also uncomfortable for patient. 11 Now in these days spinal anesthesia due to its rapid onset and high success rates is very popular for lower abdominal surgeries. In a study conducted by Magenta et al Reported that combined use of warm anesthetic agent and warm parental fluid reduce the incidence of shivering.…”

ABSTRACT... Objectives:To compare the effect of warm and cold bupivacain on shivering during infraumblical surgeries in children under spinal anesthesia. Study Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: Department of anesthesiology, Nishtar Medical College and Hospital, Multan. Period: April 2015 to April 2016. Materials and Methods: A total of 62 patients were selected for this study. SPSS version 16 was used for data analysis. Frequency and percentages were calculated for qualitative data and mean ± standard deviation was calculated for quantitative data. Results: There was a remarkable difference shivering score in both groups. Mean shivering score for warm group was 1.1 ± 1.9 and for cold group it was 2.4 ± 1.2. Effectiveness was (74%) in warm group and (19.3%) in cold group. Conclusion: There are thermo sensory fibers in spinal cord that can induce or intensify the onset of shivering, intensity of shivering can be reduced by using warm local anesthetic solution, so anesthetic solution must be warm before using in spinal anesthesia. Key words:Warm bupivacain, Cold bupivacain, Spinal anesthesia, Shivering Article Citation: Ahmad M, Khan NA, Furqan A, Waris S.
