Summary
This study will look at the incidence of post-spinal shivering (PSS) among the obstetrics
population and will investigate whether higher operation theater (OT) temperature range
or/and IV Ondansetron are able to reduce the incidence of PSS. This is a double-blind,
randomized, factorial study, patients will be grouped into 4 groups - LP, HP, LO, HO (L=
low-temperature range, H= high-temperature range, P= placebo, O=Ondansetron). All patients
undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia will be recruited, and it will be
conducted in obstetrics OT.
