Effect of Intrathecal Bupivacaine Temperature Variation on Prophylaxis of Shivering in Urologic Patients Undergoing Spinal Anesthesia
Background Postspinal shivering is a frequent complication of spinal anesthesia (SA) and is particularly relevant in urological procedures, where perioperative heat loss can be exacerbated by irrigation fluids. Modifying the temperature of the intrathecal local anesthetic may affect thermoregulatory responses and the p...
