Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the proportion of patients developing postoperative shivering till 4 hours postoperatively after intraoperative administration of early and late paracetamol.  Just after shifting patient to post-anaesthesia care unit, then at every 30 mins till 4 hours postoperatively 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. To assess and compare the severity of shivering in patients developing POS.
2. To observe the pain scores and time to analgesic requirement in the postoperative period
with early and late PCM administration while minimizing the effect of intraoperative
opioids on postoperative pain scores.
3. To compare the proportion of patients developing postoperative hypothermia after early
and late PCM administration while maintaining intraoperative normothermia. 
Just after shifting patient to post-anaesthesia care unit, then at every 30 mins till 4 hours postoperatively

Brief Summary   This is a double blind randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of early and late paracetamol administration on postoperative shivering (POS) and pain scores.

A total of 174 patients will be studied. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of the two groups: 

1. Early PCM group- who will receive IV PCM 15 mg/kg (maximum 1 g) over 20 min immediately after anaesthesia induction. 

2. Late PCM group- who will receive IV PCM 15 mg/kg (maximum 1 g) for 20 min approximately 30 min before completion of surgery. 


The primary outcome will be to compare the proportion of patients developing POS till 4 hours postoperatively after intraoperative administration of early and late paracetamol.The secondary outcomes are 
1. To assess and compare the severity of shivering in patients developing POS.
2. To observe the pain scores and time to analgesic requirement in the postoperative period with early and late PCM administration while minimizing the effect of intraoperative opioids on postoperative pain scores.
3. To compare the proportion of patients developing postoperative hypothermia after early and late PCM administration while maintaining intraoperative normothermia.
