Brief Summary  

Shivering after spinal anaesthesia is a common complication. This leads to redistribution of central heat to the periphery and overall heat loss. Shivering increases oxygen consumption, metabolic rate, carbon dioxide production, lactic acidosis. Also it interferes with electrocardiography, blood pressure, oxygen saturation

monitoring and has its detrimental effects on wound healing and coagulation. Phenylephrine being a alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist, due to its peripheral vasoconstrictive effect, the core to peripheral redistribution of blood volume is minimal, which may maintainthe core body temperature and reduce shivering during

spinal andestnesia.

Aim: Low dose phenylephrine infusion after spinal anesthesia may decrease incidence of shivering in caesarean sections.


Objectives: 

1.To evaluate the effect of phenylephrine infusion on incidence of shivering.

2.To evaluate the effect of phenylephrine infusion on

  • Severity of shivering.
  • Intraoperative core body temperature.
  • Intraoperative hypotension.
Materials and methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial

Sample size: 45 in each group
