Toshiyuki Saito, M.D.,* Daniel I. Sessler, M.D.,^ Kazuaki Fujita, M.D.,* Yoshi i Ooi, M.D.,* and Renee Jeffrey, B.S.^

Background and Objectives: Hypothermia is likely to develop faster during spinal anesthesia than epidural anesthesia. A natural consequence of the rapid temperature decrease during spinal anesthesia is that the shivering threshold will be reached sooner and that more shivering will be required to prevent further hypothermia. We tested the hypotheses that the onset of hypothermia is more rapid and the onset and intensity of shivering earlier during spinal than epidural anesthesia. Methods: Patients undergoing cesarean delivery were randomly assigned to spinal anesthesia or ...
