- Title
Hypothermia and spinal anaesthesia.
- Authors
Harper, C. M.; Alexander, R.
- Abstract
The article presents a comparative study on the application of anesthesia causing decrease of the body temperature during caesarian section operations. In seeking for better effects of the two procedures, it was found that spinal anesthesia is better than epidural application, but the first procedure has a higher risk of mortality than the second. In addition, present evidence suggests that thermoregulation is part of the adverse effect of the drug injected.
