Abstract

Shivering is one of the common problems during spinal anesthesia and may lead to several complications, interfere with patient monitoring, and is bothersome for the mother while holding her newborn. We performed this prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to determine the ability of preoperative intravenous (IV) granisetron to prevent or decrease shivering after spinal anesthesia during elective cesarean delivery.
