Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Incidence of shivering

    Muscular activity in one or more than one muscle group or involving the whole body will be labelled as shivering

    Patients will be monitored from 15-45 mins from the administration of the prophylactic drug

  • Severity of Shivering

    Shivering will be graded as per the following criteria: 0= no shivering. 1. piloerection or peripheral vasoconstriction but no visible shivering. 2. muscular activity (visible muscular twitching) in only one muscle group; 3. muscular (visible muscular twitching) activity in more than one muscle group but not generalized. 4. shivering involving the whole body

    Patients will be monitored from 15-45 mins from the administration of the prophylactic drug

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Time to shivering

    15 mins from the administration of the prophylactic drug

  • Complications

    Patients will be monitored from 15-45 mins from the administration of the prophylactic drug
