Summary

Intraoperative hypothermia is common during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia and contributes to maternal discomfort, shivering, and metabolic stress. Active warming systems such as forced-air warming are recommended in perioperative guidelines; however, their effectiveness in obstetric anesthesia remains variably documented.

This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether perioperative forced-air warming reduces maternal hypothermia and shivering during elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia without adversely affecting neonatal outcomes.

Conditions

  • Perioperative Hypothermia
  • Maternal Hypothermia

Interventions

DEVICE

Forced-Air Warming

Perioperative forced-air warming was administered using a forced-air warming device during elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia to maintain maternal normothermia.
