Brief Summary   The study proposal aims to compare the efficacy of intravenous dexamethasone with intravenous paracetamol in preventing post-spinal shivering in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). 
There is a high prevalence of hypothermia and shivering in TURP surgeries, particularly in older patients with comorbidities.
The rationale underscores the lack of a definitive treatment for post-spinal shivering and proposes dexamethasone and paracetamol as potential interventions due to their mechanisms of action. The novelty lies in comparing these drugs specifically in the context of TURP surgeries. The expected outcome is a decreased incidence of post-spinal shivering and its adverse effects. The research question revolves around whether paracetamol is more effective than dexamethasone in preventing post-spinal shivering or vice versa. 
The primary objective is to evaluate the Incidence, Time of onset, severity of post-spinal shivering, in TURP after the administration of paracetamol or dexamethasone and requirement of IV Pethidine for treatment of grade 3 or 4 shivering (according to Crossley and Mahajan shivering grades) .
 Secondary objectives include studying the side effects of the drugs - Nausea, vomiting and Hypotension.
