Abstract
Background: A sequence of repeated, involuntary skeletal muscular movements that frequently happen during spinal anesthesia is referred to as shivering. Both spinal and epidural regional anesthetic lower the shivering threshold and promote vasodilation. There have been reports recently that ondansetron (5HT3 receptor antagonist) and paracetamol can lessen shivering following subarachnoid block. We investigate how Ondansetron and paracetamol affects shivering.
