Brief Summary

This primary purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of intravenous tramadol(0.5mg/kg) and butorphanol(0.02mg/kg) in the treatment of post spinal anaesthesia shivering. A double blinded randomised control trial. We Hypothesise that butorphanol has early onset of control of shivering compared to tramadol.
