Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of shiveringPatients will be monitored from 15-45 mins from the administration of the prophylactic drug

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

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

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

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to shivering15 mins from the administration of the prophylactic drug

The time to shiver will be defined as the duration from the initiation of the intervention until the onset of observable shivering.

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

Complications such as hypotension, nausea and vomiting, bradycardia, or hallucinations will be noted
