This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of continuous phenylephrine infusion at 50 mcg/min in preventing shivering after spinal anesthesia in cesarean section.
This study was an open-label randomized clinical trial involving patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Subjects were allocated into two groups: without phenylephrine and continuous phenylephrine infusion at 50 mcg/min. The primary outcome was the incidence of shivering during observation, assessed using the Crossley and Mahajan scale. Secondary outcomes included hypotension, ephedrine requirement, hemodynamic adverse events, and nausea vomiting.
