Shivering_Basel_Baden
Sponsor: University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
Summary
Shivering is known to occur in around 40% of women as a side effect of neuraxial anaesthesia during caesarean section.Women undergoing caesarean section under neuraxial anaesthesia are randomised into either the treatment group or control group. Women in both groups are observed during caesarean section. This study is to test a non-pharmacological and non-invasive treatment with two groups, an intervention and a control group. In the intervention group, intraoperative shivering during caesarean section is treated by placing two surgical gloves filled with warm water into the women's hands. In the control group, women will be treated with the current standard of care, which does not include specific treatment of shivering.
