Brief Summary  

Shivering is the one of the most commonly observed complications in anesthesia practice. It has a very high incidence (60 %) in general anaesthesia, whereas the incidence in regional anaesthesia ranges between 40-60 %.In addition, perioperative shivering can occur in up to 85% of patients undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia.Hypothermia during regional anesthesia is common and is a cause of shivering. There are three reasons for hypothermia under spinal anesthesia. First, spinal anesthesia leads to internal redistribution of heat from the core to the peripheral compartment . Secondly, with loss of thermoregulatory vasoconstriction below the level of the spinal block, there is increased heat loss from body surfaces. Lastly, there is altered thermoregulation under spinal anesthesia characterized by a 0.5oC decrease in vasoconstriction and shivering thresholds .However, redistribution can be prevented by cutaneous warming. Warming markedly increases peripheral tissue heat content and reduces the core-to-peripheral tissue temperature gradient , which affects temperature .Recently, it has been established that one of the various pathways involved in Post anesthesia shivering is through the 5-HT3 receptor, so 5-HT3 antagonist must have a role in prevention PAS.

After obtaining informed consent, 120 full term parturients women who are eligible to participate in the study will be be allocated randomly using closed envelope technique to one of three groups:Group O (n=40): will Receive Injection Ondensetron 4mg iv . just after giving block with no forced air warmingGroup W (n=40): will Receive upper body forced-air warming set at 42°c after giving block without Injection Ondensetron and warming device is continued till end of surgery.Group C (n=40): will recieve Injection Ondensetron 4mg (I.V. just after giving block) plus active forced-air warming after giving block to end of sugery.

we will monitor core temperature(tymphanic membrane) and skin temperature during surgery at regular intervals. Grades of shivering will also be noted and compared between the groups.
