The Effects of Actively Warming the Patient on Maternal and Infant Well-Being in a Cesarean Section Operation

The Effect of Prophylactic Steroids on Shivering in Adults Undergoing Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

“…With regards to nondrug antishivering measures, it is important to use warm fluids for intraoperative infusions 9 and active warming such as forced-air-based rather than mattress-based warming strategies 10 although its shivering prophylaxis may be less effective in cesarean sections than in other noncardiac surgeries 11 . Furthermore, active warming not only has a positive effect on maternal temperature and respiratory circulation, but also, in turn, a favorable neonatal prognosis 12 …”

Characterized by early onset, impaired eating, and impactful daily life restrictions, HG leads to dehydration and weight loss, becoming a primary cause for early pregnancy hospitalization.…”
