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. Dexmedetomidine being a alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, due to its peripheral and central anti -shivering effects ,  even at a lower dose it can be a useful drug to perioperative shivering in caesarean section patients and it has lesser side effects compared to traditional anti shivering agents

Aim :
 low dose intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine and placebo (normal saline) in prevention of shivering during spinal anesthesia for lower segment caesarean  section patients 

Objectives:
1) To compare the incidence of shivering among dexmedetomidine and placebo groups
2)  To  evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on 
   Severity of shivering
   Body temperature
   Hypotension
   hemodynamic parameters 

Materials and Methods :A Prospective Double blinded Randomised Controlled Trial

Sample size: 36 in each group
