Dosage of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Bupivacaine and the Incidence of Post Spinal Shivering.

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2018-09-29
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

Shivering is very common after spinal anaesthesia. Many studies have investigated the role of adding adjuvants to the local anaesthetics to decrease the incidence of post-spinal shivering. Non of the studies n the literature review have investigated the role of different dose of local anaesthetic alone in reducing the incidence of post-spinal shivering. In the present study the investigators aimed to compare the effect of different local anaesthetic dose in reducing post-spinal shivering.
